For sure when I did a 700 C X 25mm to 650b 38/42 mm I noticed no difference

I am skeptical of the wheel-size-dramatcially-affects-geometry argument. I can
only argue from analogy - my gravel bike wears 700x42 normally, but I am
equally happy on 650x48. Crank strike is more of an issue, but I just watch
out for that and use crank boots. BB is definitely lower, but I honestly don't
really notice. I notice no difference in handling, other than maybe slightly
snappier steering.

650b will fit and the XTR v brakes will work. Richard Schwinn mentioned that
it would alter the steering and mildly recommended against it. The bike was
designed for a 26 X 1.6 inch tire. I have a chart that shows the difference in
will circumference is just a few millimeters. 640mm V 670mm. However we know
that just a few millimeters change of frame geometry is a big deal.
Other than availability of tires/fendors (can’t fit larger than actual 26 X 47
mm tire)
what advantage do you see on either the handling/speed/bump roll over of the
changeup from's 26 to 650 B
thank you, ye of more experience than I.

I built a 650b on 26 Trek 850 frame with the Chinese
version<https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805371290100.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.85.17ca1802hZwxq7&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa>
(maybe the same thing?). They worked really well. Granted, I sold the bike
pretty quickly.

Yes, I'm using on a 1990-ish (non-U-brake era) Diamond Back Ascent basket bike.
I haven't shredded with it, but they stop my schlubby self and cargo with
aplomb. I imagine that it will be even better when I get around to Kool Stops

Yes I have used them for this purpose on '89 Trek 950.
Originally, had Tektro cantis (CR720s) which looked great but they worked only
ok due to where I could get the pads to align on the rim. Swapped in these
Pro-Max v brakes (108mm, silver version) and the braking dramatically improved
as they offered better range to get pads in better position, plus v brake
leverage/power.
These are a great option. Highly recommend.

Has anyone tried the promax p-1
v-brakes<https://www.promaxcomponents.com/product/bmx-brake-p-1> on a 26" to
650b conversion?
They have about 35mm of vertical brake pad adjustment so probably they should
work...
