The older A/Rs were all built on 26" wheels, so changing to 650B would raise the BB by 12.5 mm +/- the difference in tire cross section. The only person to convert an A/R to 650B that I know of was Ron Lau. http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2005/cc006-ronlau0505.html http://www.freewebs.com/650b/ro

Hi Jon, the consensus I've heard is that Rivendell bottom brackets are pretty low to begin with, and dropping them further with 650b wheels can lead to a lot of pedal strikes. That said, if you're going to use Hetres and shorter the cranks to 165, shouldn't be to much of a problem. Don't A-R
