In my semi-annual six-month bike makeover (still new to this, folks), I replaced some worn Jack Brown blues with Pasela 35s under my Honjo 45s (works, but tight fit), and put my Noodle 46's back on with a Dirt Drop stem with the new SRAM brake levers. I tried an 8cm Technomic, but it still felt wrong, so I wanted to push the bars up a bit.
As I was enjoying my "new" bike, I started thinking about all the 650b activity on the list, and I'm now wondering if I should try a Homer 700c to 650b conversion at some point in the future. Has anyone here tried doing this on a 700c Homer? Mine's a 59cm, and I guess the only reason it would be interesting is so I could test the Jan Heine sweetspot of 38-42mm 650b tires instead of going bigger and bigger on the 700c. Plus, I could run Hetres. Or Pari-Motos. Cool. One note - I love the Silver brakes. Easy as pie to adjust, and never squealed once for me. I've changed bars on this bike 3 times so far, and replaced the cables a few times - not one issue. One guy's experience...
