The fork is as short A to C as possible and still accommodate a 29'er wheel with a 2.35" Rampage tire. Even with this, it still steers kinda weird. I'm used to it, but it isn't ideal.</p> <p>Since that frame was built in '97, at BEST it was built around an 80mm fork, but more likely a 60mm fork. Because of this, if you go to a 80mm 29'er fork, you'll be slacking the HT angle by 3 or more degrees! </p> <p>I'd just get a new XC fork for a 26" and ride the bike as it was intended. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=1002#post-3009 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 22:55:28 +0000 29ner 3009@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Personally I would not. The frame was built around a 26" geometry. It would be much more prudent to sell the bike and get either a 650 wheeled or 29ner that is built for such. You can do it if you go to 80mm.....but....</p> <p>You raise the bb, you slacken the head angle, you slacken the seat angle, you (effectively) shorten the reach, you lengthen the wheelbase, etc., etc. </p> <p>You can put Jeep wheels on a Corolla, but I'm thinking most auto mechanics would advise against it. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=1002#post-3008 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 22:26:17 +0000 ealdy 3008@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I have an older YBB, I think the frame was made in 1997.<br /> It's time to change the front forks and I've been wondering about changing the whole front end to accomodate a 650b or a 29" front wheel. It is currently a 26" front wheel. Has anyone had good luck doing something like this, so it's more like the Gristle setup? Maybe I could drop the front suspension from a 100mm to 80mm to accomodate?<br /> Any thoughts, thanks. </p>
