When people go 700c to 650b they'd talk about how it lowers trail and increases stability with a front load, maybe going from 26 to 650b has the opposite effect and is twitcher? Again I don't know.

This. It gets more twitchy. It's not much, but on 90s mtb frames for example it can get too hectic, because they are already muchos nervous.

It should, in theory, increase trail.

FlnFnk in reply to @Polygon

That's correct.
So it handles more twitchy at low speeds and gets more stable at higher speeds in comparison to a lower trail, no!?

Could you, in theory, counteract that by getting a new fork with more rake?
