Does it make sense to change wheel size on an existing bike? This should be possible. Rear shock is in need of changing. The wider tires will be more durable, more "sure-footed", and give a more comfortable ride on rough pavement or under moderate off-road conditions. The main reason most folks consider 650B is to have bigger, wider tiresusually 47mm-53mm (around 2.1)on a drop-bar bike that would normally be fitted with much narrower tires.
