   How Do 750d Gravel Wheels Ride? TESTED

   The gravel world is about to see the introduction of a bigger wheel standard called 750d.

   So naturally, Liam thought it would be good to test if they are faster than 700c wheels, and if they feel any different to ride.

   WTB and Moots have been developing this new standard, and they’ve done this for two reasons.

   Firstly, the larger 660mm rim diameter is meant to roll more easily over rough terrain and these bigger wheels are intended to help custom builds for taller riders.

   What do you think of 750d wheels? Is it something you want to try or just another standard? Let us know in the comments.

     @tk @biketooter @cycling @mastobikes I would appreciate it the bike industry stopped coming up with new unnecessary standards.

     @tk i can think of a lot of 29x2.4” setups that might feel good with an alternative 750d narrower tire option, but anyone proposing a new size and marketing it in french traditional sizes should [redacted]

     @tk @biketooter @cycling @mastobikes imho the point of a gravel bike is not to be more/as efficient as a mountain bike off the road but to bring the feeling of a road bike while having dirt roads capabilites. I am saying this as someone who did MTB marathon events on a cyclocross bike back when gravel bikes weren't already a word.

     For that reason, even if it might be slower I prefer riding a gravel bike with 650b wheels as the outer diameter feels closer to a 700c wheel with 28mm tire. The bike might not be as fast as a gravel bike with 700x 45mm tires but I don't care, especially as I am not racing any more. 650B feels more playful and lively. Count me as uninterested.

     If I want better off road capabilities, I just ride my 27.5fat or 29+ mountain bike.
