I know this has been done before but I can't find the post, can anyone tell me for sure if my exile will fit 650's ? I'm 99% sure on this- Also is Stan's still making the 355 wheel?didn't see it on their site
Thanks!

Unfortunately going from 29er frames to 650B is may not work optimally. Your BB will be lowered and you will have more pedal strikes on the ground. The geo will be off as the steerer tube angle will be too steep and the chainstays effectively too long.

I think the OP was asking about an Exile 26er frame not a 29er.
