I've been surfing high & low for 650B news out of InterBike. I'm
particularly interested in any new tire choices. Any comments?
Best Regards - Mike Baldwin

Their show is probably the Handmade Bike Show in California.

Actually, on the ibob list the big "pusher" of all things 650b is Kirk
Pacenti. Here's what he said about Interbike:
"I will at the show Wednesday and Thursday. I won't have a booth, but I will
be floating around the show. If you'd like to hook up for coffee or just say
hello, you will likely find me hanging out at one of these 650b-centric
booths.

size tires:

If you read the comments, didn't seem to be much of a hit.....
