a set of 650B wheels* with disc brakes is certainly possible given your bike has disc brakes..
Sutherlands ; '40-584 will have a radius of 335mm with that 40mm wide tire, to compare with your wheel radius.. [D 622] r=(311 + tire width/height).
the BB will be lower, and the steering trail a little bit less..
* Aka 27.5"

Thanks. I've seen Georgena's
videos about bike design on YouTube several times; I would love to just have a smaller front wheel, but the husbeast thinks it would throw the bike's geometry off. Personally, I still think I'd just need to level the saddle and adjust the handlebars (I'm thinking I
need some Jones bars), but I'm fairly ignorant of these things.
