Have you guys / gals tried 'em?

I have a steel 29er (Canfield Nimble9) nothing wrong with it but feeling like a change might be coming in that department.

If 29er forks are similar to 650b+ can't I just lift and shift? From what I've seen there is about a 9mm C2A difference. Will I notice it? I I just have 10mm travel less - will this balance things out?

I might even want to run a new bike as a 650b+ bike so would thee actually be the best option?

Any thought?

I don't really understand your question however I am running b+ wheels (i35 rims, 2.8 Nic on front, 2.8 Trailblazer out back) on a Yelli Screamy with 29er Pikes, it rocks.

I was just asking about running 9er forks on 650b frames in case I want to change the N9.
