Could this work with 650b?

Possibly, would need to check clearance and would limit tyre size, plus might need to swap out cantilevers if you don’t have enough adjustment.

I dont think you'd get a 650 MTB tyre in the front.

Hmmm …. Loose the ‘guard, ditch the shimano hanger and ease in some gravel rubber …

If its like mine you will struggle with a bigger rear. I can only just get 1.9" in....its tight.
