[Closed] 29+ on Genesis Fortitude?

Is there anyone out there that has put a 29+ wheel in the front end of a Genesis Fortitude? The idea of adding just a little more cush to my bike sounds great, but I don't won't to invest in the wheel and tyre before I know it will fit.

Thanks

Yes - but I fitted a Jones unicrown fork at the same time. More for the offset figure and the 135 ft hub, than the clearance. Currently awaiting decent 29+ tyres, but have a 2.5 Minion DHF on a Dually at the moment. Porky, but amazing traction.

Will it go in the standard fork, this is also something I'm interested in.

How big does the 2.5" minion come up?

Thanks for the reply. Did the Jones fork change the geometry much?
