Wonderful Tim, thank you for your analysis.
I have another question along the same vein for the group. I am
trying to do this on a budget, I am married now and I can't just blow
money on bike parts that sound cool on some Internet forum anymore.
I'm thinking about going 8 speed Shimano for this conversion, even
though the bike currently has 9 speed Campy Chorus. Reason being is
that the parts are very, very reasonably priced. Rivendell sells 8
speed Shimano compatible cassettes for $30, for example. Campy bits
are not reasonably priced and in the amount of riding I'll do
preparing for PBP I will probably wear out at least some of them.
Since cost is an issue, why not just leave it with the 9 speed Campy
Chorus? The only things you need to change for a 650B conversion are
the wheels and the brakes.
