26er fork on a 29er
Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2013 2:32 pm
Awaiting delivery of my new fork to fit to my current 26er frame I was thinking/wondering about my future plans of a 29er build later this year.
I note than on one do 2 fork lengths for their carbon forks (for 29 and 26 inch wheels) with a difference of 40mm in length.
In the real world, i've seen that a 29" wheel fits in their 26" fork but would I need to get a new fork when I buy a 29" frame or will I be able to use the 26er fork?
Is a just a case of the geometry being a bit off and the front a bit low/more skittish?
New frame is likely to be an On One Inbred 29er.
