I thought I’d ask here.
I have a 90’s rigid 26er and want a shorter Omnium’ish cargo bike. I’m won a very cheap, £5 inc p&! 29er suspension corrected fork, I have 20” wheel, I have some steel tube and flat stock. I also have a welder.
Old forks ac 390mm
Old tyre diameter 639mm ( 1.5x26)
New forks ac 450mm
New tyre diameter 506mm (2x20, but I think I could squeeze a 2.2 in there for more height?)
All that gets the headset within 15mm of it original height from the ground.
I’m I missing something?
I know I’m going to have to work around the top of the forks, but other than that?
I’ve had a play with the measurements, some cable ties, an old fork and a different frame.
