    Could I convert my 26 inch Trek Fuel EX8 into a 29er if I fit a longer fork and a longer suspension swingarm, from one of Trek’s 29er models? Would the geometry be insane? I could probably try to work it all out, but someone on here may already have tried. If so, and you are still alive, give us a shout. 🙂

    It’ll be a very 26″ feeling 29″ if you get it to work. The BB will be HIGH.

    I know… but that would be easy. And probably cheaper. And safer. But I still want to try it. I don’t know why, really 😀
