Nukeproof mega 650b

Has anyone tried this yet ?

Considering giving 650 flow rims ago

Running fox 36's so the front no problem and there is about 20mm or 3/4 inch of clearance
top and bottom clear of the frame
With a 26 flow rim with 2.35 Hanz dampf, would really like to stick to using this tyre set up
But in a 650 .........

yes, I did. But the Marzocchi 55CR didn´t take the 650b wheel.

Cheers for the response fella
The back does look a smidge tight, perhaps a 2.25 nobby nic ?

In my opinion, it doesn´t make any sence...... like the SC Nomad here somewhere...

A Nomad with 650b, cross country tires like Racing Ralph and Rocket Ron plus a 180mm fork, strange combination.
btw the bb height of the standard nomad is very high (I had one) and with the 650b wheels.......it doesn´t make it better I guess

The bb height of the mega could be still ok, but to use a smaller rear tire? That isn´t the general idea
