I did this very conversion last season. At first I tried some old Shimano Altus cantis that just fit the larger diameter 650b wheels. Eventually I obtained some smooth arm Paul Moto BMX V brakes that work very well. The larger diameter wheels have raised the bottom bracket a bit but it is not noticeable because the Atlantis was quite low to begin with. The Hetres that I can now use on my 56 cm Atlantis are a joy. On Feb 29, 2012, at 9:35 PM, frank_a wrote:
