That bike has a really cool look to it. Do you think you could run
26" rims with BAs on a 650B frame with canti-bosses? Are there brakes
that would give adequate reach?

By bottomed out I mean the pads were all the way down, as I recall.
Never had any braking (or handling) issues, and I haven't noticed
speed differences being back on the 650b.

Dang, would have been a great set of wheels for my planned 26">650B

And I'll bet you couldn't pedal through corners!
In the opposite direction, I once bought a KHS mtb tandem that the
seller had used for touring with 622X28 tires and short reach
calipers. I converted it back to 559 X 35.

I ran 26" wheels on my 700 size bike, using Tektro long reach calipers with
the pads at the bottom of the slot. The brakes work, but the handling of
the bike was negatively affected.

What does "bottomed out" mean here? Do you mean you have the pads at
the bottom of the slo
I am s bummed that I sold my Bleriot knowing now that I could have done
this!

I ran with this setup for a while, using Dia Compe centerpulls. The
brakes were pretty much bottomed out to match the rims, but they
work. I have 50mm Big Apples, so on a 556 wheel the diameter is about
656 (556+50+50). Running a 32mm tire on a 584 rim (650b) has a
diameter of about 648 (584+32+
I'd be very interested in knowing more about your set-up for running
26" rims and big apples on your bleriot frame.
