27" frame and brake reach
I have an old 27" frame that I'd like to go to 650B on, but it may be just too far of a reach.
The photo below is that of Zeus calipers against a 700c wheel. As you can see, I'll need long reach brakes to go to 700c.
Is it silly to think of trying for 650B? Or should I just get fat 700c wheels & tires, plus, of course, long reach brakes?
