As above, considering new forks for the carbon 456... was wondering if anyone has tried running 150mm 650b forks with a 26" front wheel.... how'd it go??!

I did in my Bandit, my mate is on his spitfire. works well imo and gives you decent clearance even with big tyres up front.

I ran X Fusion Sweeps 160mm travel on my Zesty for best part of a year, with 26" wheels. The A2C and offset where significantly different to the Fox 32 26" fork on it originally. It was great downhill. I did have travel adjust which compensated for climbing.

Works fine. 650b compatible velvets on a whyte 19. No issues at all.

interesting. it's only about an extra 20mm on a-c, and I could probably run the forks a bit softer than I usually do to compensate a little on a-c.
