That's a great looking homebuilt. I wouldn't think that the geometry would
change much at all. There may be a small change but nothing too drastic so
long as the 20" fork has similar clearance to the current 26" one. Don't
forget you would need to move your rear brake posts to accommodate the
smaller wheel. Also while your moving brake posts I would seriously suggest
putting the front ones on the back of the fork legs. It makes it easier in a
number of ways, cable routing etc.



Good luck and don't forget to post pic's once it's done.

I'm considering using dual 406 wheels instead of 26 inch wheels. If I
changeand use a 20 inch fork, would that change the steering geometry
even though I'd be using dual 406s?

Thanks

Sebastian

You may not have to re-position rear the brake post. I've replaced the V-Brake with a U-Brake when swapping over to a 20" wheel and it fit just fine. To:...
