I have done the conversion from my 56cm Atlantis. I think it works well and have kept the bike that way. The Tektro Oryx brakes are the lowest-cost canti brake that I know will have enough upward pad travel to meet a 584 rim, and that is what I started with. I later converted the bike to a linear brake using Paul Components Moto-Bmx brake sets, which are both lower profile, even more adjustable and more powerful. They do need a long pull brake lever, so MTB levers or the DiaCompe long-pull drop bar levers would be needed (I am not a fan of travel agents for braking.) I am running a flat bar so have gone with Paul Love 2.5 levers and Paul Thumbies shifter mounts. Overall, I prefer the bike with 650B wheels.
