Question: Switching 700 to 650b rim brake wheels would (I think) allow me more frame room to go from 35mm to a bit larger tyres. Is it worth the headache to explore this? Or not worth it based on all the downsides I can already imagine: long drop callipers, new wheels and tyres, difficulty of sourcing replacements in future etc.
I was wondering if doing this would enable me to switch in times like a longer ride on more mtb type trails that 35mm come up short on. If anyone has done this I'd be interested to hear!
