Did you find that the 650B wheels made enough of a difference to trail to affect the handling at all?
Well, I've only ridden it with 650B wheels, so I can't compare it to what it would be like with 700c. Using
JimG's trail calculator, there's only a 4mm difference between a 700c x 28mm tire and a 650B x 32mm tire with this setup. That said, I do find that 650B conversions and those high-zoot and wider tires soften out a potentially harsh ride that I usually find on a frame with fairly steep frame angles and a high BB.
