Has anyone tried the switch?
I've got a niner rip 9 which is surplus to requirements so I chucked in a pair of 650b wheels and had a bit of a measure up...the bb height is 13.25" which is 0.3" higher than my 650b's bb height!
The chain stays are admittedly a bit long at 18" but the wheelbase isn't that much longer (only 3/8" more).
Anyway I'd be interested to see if anyone had tried it this way, before bother building it up properly for a ride out.
Appreciate any input.
Cheers G
