On Sep 30, 11:54 am,
In my humble opinion, a Roadeo would be an absolutely lousy 650B
conversion candidate. There is WAY too much BB drop on a Roadeo to
even consider 650B. A Hilsen/Saluki which is a low BB 650B bike only
has 67mm of drop. A Roadeo has 75mm of drop (or more, depending on
size). Your cranks and BB
I work in IT and my advice is don't do things to circumvent internet
security installed by your company. Where I work it's instant
termination and 650b conversions can't be worth that. BUT perhaps
your work is more lenient with such things.

the CdlV is 670mm dia and the JB is 700mm almost exactly for both, so
I would estimate the drop at 15 - 20 mm with a load on the tire,
unfortunately I was in a hurry to get the wife bike done and the brake
pads on the Roadeo rubbed so I just threw the wheels on to see how
they fit but no test
One small correction:
As you might have noticed, the bike has Nitto Moustache bars, not
