Hi Jon, the consensus I've heard is that Rivendell bottom brackets are pretty low to begin with, and dropping them further with 650b wheels can lead to a lot of pedal strikes. That said, if you're going to use Hetres and shorter the cranks to 165, shouldn't be tooooo much of a problem. Don't A-Rs all have cantis though? That's your bigger headache.
Have fun!
