650B / 27.5" Bicycle Tires from Harris Cyclery
(ISO/E.T.R.T.O. 584 mm)

This is the size used on most older French touring, tandem and utility bikes. It is also known as the "new" 27.5" size.

This size was also used on a few models from Raleigh (Portage) and Schwinn (Frontier, Mirada
and labeled as 26x1-1/2". (This is not the same as the Canadian 26x1-1/2" size-that's 571 mm.)
