popcorn_skollie Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Sooo....can one assume that you can then run a decent volume rear takkie in the frame safely. Have you guys by anychance seen any older version 26" pikes running a 650B wheel with decent rubber on? Comb through this.A couple years worth of end user experience regarding which 26 forks work for 650b.

Have you guys by anychance seen any older version 26" pikes running a 650B wheel with decent rubber on? 32mm Pikes? I doubt you'll be able to fit decent size rubber in there. I've got a set of chunky 650b wheels in the shop at the moment if you'd like to try though.

You have lot's of nice toy's lying around your workshop or desk!

You have lot's of nice toy's lying around your workshop or desk! Not many of them mine, unfortunately. One of them happens to be an old 32mm Pike, and the answer is no.

droo Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 so pop that wheel you bragging off in the "no 32mm Pike" and let's see how things fit Tchjina I did, hence my 'no' in the last post. Sorry for bad news.
DubbelBuys Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 With a spacer. I have one on my desk.This should reduce the travel to around 130mm

Have you guys by anychance seen any older version 26" pikes running a 650B wheel with decent rubber on?Not too fat.My Shova with 2.35 HD's doesn't have heaps of side clearance & it tapers down (towards the pivot). 650B in 2.25 might be good though.

Just looking at the geo, it is amazing how the newer generation bikes geo have changed or rather evolved.
