You can not run 650B wheels on a 700C Sam Hillborne. The reasons are threefold
2. Drop. Grant already dialed the frame design of the Hillborne for 700xfat tires. Among those things that are dialed is the BB drop. Run smaller diameter wheels, and *your already low BB height will be in true pedal-scraping territory. * Virtually all recent 700c Rivendells are lousy candidates for 650B conversion for that reason. The roadier Riv models of several years ago are good candidates because they were designed for 700xskinny and have less drop.
