45650b is designed around 130-150mm 650b fork.

I don't know how to work out if a 29er with a 100mm fork will work?

Can someone help me with the number sentence?

Of course It will work, but I don't know how well.

Anyway read this out of interest... http://www.on-one.co.uk/news/brant-blog/q/date/2013/07/26/45650b

I have an original 456 that I run with a 26r rigid fork and 29r front wheel in the winter, which does work really well for me. Slows the handling a little and takes the head angle down a bit compared to a 140 fork.

It's probably not a world apart from the geometry change you are talking about.

Thanks - i didn't find the blog on my goggle travels. I'm sure someone will make a 29/650b frame one day.
