Brake Drop Link

Even using TekTro long reach side pull brakes, the smaller diameter of the 650B wheels require a drop link fabricated from a piece of 1" x 1/4" aluminum bar stock.

SANTA IN HIS WORKSHOP

A completed set of new 650B wheels for the conversion.

UPGRADE & 650B CONVERSION

This project is a bicycle that I will be building for my wife. I am starting with a Bridgstone RB5 Mixti, 10 speed, 27" steel wheels. I will be building 650B wheels with Synergy Velocity rims, and phill wood hubs. These wheels will allow fatter tires & fenders. I will also add a Nitto Techtonic high rise stem and Nitto Albatross handlebars for a more upright seating position. I will post my progress as I go along.
