Got a new frame coming. 650b setup so need some new forks. Choice for forks is not great, but I could get the 9er version of the fork I want (new pike). Axel to crown isn’t too far different and the travels right… Or is it not that simple?

Anyone tried it?

My wife runs a Reba 29er with her 650b and it doesn’t effect her. I’ve not ridden her bike at far and it feels ok

650 wheel on a 29er fork is the cycling equivalent of crossing hte streams in Ghostbusters.

What he says ^

I stuck a 26″ wheelset on my Niner for a laugh.
Bottom bracket was a tad low… 😀

“what did you do Ray” – one of the best lines of any film, ever made. Point made. Step away from the compromise.

I just ordered some 26″ ones from there- free postage and came in 3 days. Very happy with them (you’ll need to google translate it, but all the correspondence was in English).
