[Closed] Genesis io question ????
Am i right in saying you can run a 29eron the front of this bike only looks enough clearance (standard white forks)
Has anyone tried or is running it like this ?
If so whats it like worth doing or not ??
loving the bike just damn hard work but its paying off ! 😆
It's such a well balanced bike, I'd wonder why you want to change it.
However seeing as I usually ride 29ers, and my daughter has an iO, I am now compelled to try this 🙂
Yep it fits fine, i ride with two others that have turned their io's into clown bikes. They recon it rolls the roots and holes better.
They both have carbon forks though cant remember if they had it on factory forks.
You will increase the rake angle, lift the Bb and increase trail. ( I think)Whether this is good bad or unnoticeable is up to you and how like you bikes to handle - my suspicion is that it will be very stable and slow steering
Are you able to fit a 29" wheel in the rear as well?
Their web site says nothing about it 😐
But the clearance,from tire to top of fork is enough i reckon ?
I doubt the rear could take one !
That would mean we could run round on 69ers ??
Got to be worth it just to tell the bar maid in the pub after riding 😛
