Will a 650B wheel fit in a 26 inch Inbred?

Thanks. Is there much difference in the way the bike rides?

I dropped the forks by 20mm to offset the higher BB and fitted a 1 deg slackset to retain the same head angle as I had before lowering the forks. Works a treat, and I'd do it again, even though it sounds lke a faff! The impact on the ride is to make everything a bit smoother, without changing the handling characteristics

And there's me thinking I could just put the wheels in and go! Best start scanning the ads for some wheels then.
