Hey Hyper Allah
I ran 26" wheels on a Medium pomp for just over a year. Here is how it was set up:
The forks are off an old sunn mountain bike of mine, 380a-c and 30mm rake. This gave me about about a degree less head angle and a trail of about 60 with a 2.1. Its an ok setup but not ideal ( I had a horribly low BB). If you are looking for a large lightweight 26" tyre I would go with the 2.0 schwalbe kojak or the 2.2 geax graffiti; both a pretty light for there size.
One thing i found with running large 26" tyres though is that the ball is more likely to get stuck to or go under them.
