Ah yes, I see how my posting could be confusing. The sentence should possibly read "tempts a fella to put the Paul motolite to the test if the brakes work in the reverse *of* 26" to 650b or 700c and will acomodate 700c to 650b"
I'm thinking of the possibility of changing a size 58 700c Appaloosa to run 650b. The inspiration for this swap is due to already having a 650b wheel set and not yet having an Appaloosa. I have no worry of a low BB on the Appaloosa, that was the skirting of Riv advice I mentioned in the original post. I've ridden plenty of bikes with low BB and have always been able to adjust my riding if need be to dull and possible danger.
