I also moved the brake tab to the back of the fork with a Sheldon's nut, and it exacerbated the low mudflap issue. It still doesn't drag on clean pavement, but it makes me "Mr. Plow" in loose leaves.
Like I said, I just take the flap off during leaf season. It comes off in seconds; just push the central pin out with the smallest hex on your multi tool. Stows in my luggage, so I can put it on quick if rain breaks out. > A 650b conversion not something that you could just go down to your local > LBS and ask them to do without getting a few blank stares.

However, I love the simplicity of the conversion. With the fenders off, I can swap wheels and brake calipers in 10 minutes or so, and go back to 700c any time. I have a 7 speed Phil FW hub on my 700c wheels, and a 9 speed cassette on my 650b wheelset. Silver friction shifters don't care.
