My new mtb frame is supposed to be used with a 130mm - 150mm travel fork. I'm not finding many good cheap forks within those travel specs for 26" wheel,QR dropouts and straight 1 1/8" steerer. Could a shorter (120mm ish) travel 29er fork be fitted and used with a 26" wheel without upsetting the geometry of the frame?

Your concern is pedal strike + rideable terrain limitation by fitting a shorter fork. #dontknowwhatimtalkingabout

Out of interest - What's the headtube angle fitted with the correct fork? (if it's <68° I may have a point).

No idea what the headtube angle is, geo charts are non existent and I'd have no idea how to ensure it myself.

My thinking was that the a2c would be similar between a long travel 26er for and a short travel 29er fork this keeping the bb height etc where it needs to be.
