29” fork + 26” wheel might put the headtube where it’s supposed to be, 29” fork and wheel might be a bit high.
Brakes would only be an issue if the current caliper is IS mount no? They’re much more likely to be post mount with an is adapter and so just omit the adapter or might need a post-post +20mm adapter?

So a 24" fork and 29" wheel would be perfect...

You're asking me questions like I know...
I just need someone to go "oh Voodoo Bantu 26er just like in the pics you posted? Yeah I fitted a 29er fork and wheel and it felt a bit weird but once some lube was applied it was much nicer" yada yada

hippy
Assuming I could find something that would fit in the head tube of the bike, if I was going to swap an old sus fork off a 26er for a rigid fork, is there any reason why I wouldn't get a 29er fork with a thru axle? Then I could use my 'not doing anything' 29er wheel I swapped for a dynamo wheel on the 26er.
Is it going to be impossible to find a 29er fork that would actually fit in the Voodoo?
There's loads of cheapass BUCKLOS and TOOSEEK forks on ebay. Tricky part would probably be finding out the bike's dimensions, given it's in another country.
Hmm, brakes another issue. Post mount vs. whateverthefuckmount
