My experience with 27 to 700c was yes, but not as easily as I had hoped. When I tried to mount a pair of Paul's neo-retros I found that the slot for the shoe wasn't quite long enough, but the original dis-compes, with traditional pivoting shoes could be positioned OK, just at a bit of an angle. I don't see how you could get to 650b without removing the studs. Then you could probably find a center pull which might work. If you can live with a paint touch up, this is not too expensive a solution.
