Thinking about a 32/29er Mullet buildย  for my Stooge. Anymore seen any 32er forks ? Only half serious at the minute but looking for a fun project...ย

As long as the axle to crown is greater than 480 any fork will do it. The problem is that on a stooge the fork offset and length will be out so it would handle like shite with an afrermarket fork on. Take some measurements though, as depending on the stooge model, if the fork takes a29+ it should clear a 32

I'm not overly fussed about the handling. If the tyres are good everything will be fine. Just looking for a fun project.ย  The Stooge fork does take 29 plus tyres which I'd overlooked.ย  Probably going to get some Nextiie once I've figured out what tyre options are available.ย  Really interested to compare rollover characteristics between plus tyres and 32er. Do we say 32er ?ย

32 is not a massive difference in roll over compared to a 29x3.25 which come in just over 30"ย  weight wise not much in it either.ย  For a fast xc kinda vibe using narrower rubber then yeah it may work well. Ideally you want at least 65mm fork offset to keep the handling pretty lively.
