Dear Lum, 
I assume you are thinking of converting a bike from 700c to 650b.  I’ve 
converted two bikes: a riv road and Romulus.  I ride Fatty Rumpkins 650bx41 on 
the Romulus.  Handling feels more stable and the wider tires make for a more 
comfortable ride.  In terms of safety, I compensated for lower bottom bracket 
height by changing my crank arm length from 170 to 165.  I liked the feel of 
165 so much I changed to that crank length on my Cheviot too.  Finally don’t 
forget you will likely need to switch brakes if your bike uses center/side 
pulls.
Happy to answer other questions.
Erl
