mrfritz said:I've been using the Voodoo suspension comp 29er fork from universal cycles for some conversions. It seems to be compensated for an 80mm 29er setup, comes in disc and disc & canti. I'll be trying it on a 26" frame in the next day or two, but the numbers work out well for replacing a 100mm 26. It worked great on the 29er walmart Genisis MTB to Bomber conversion.
LOVE Dyno bikes and frames... Can't wait to see what you build.
So .... Get Ta Buildin'!! Peaceyoothgeye said:If you leave it purple (as the name implies) there are some members on this forum that are required to vote for purple bikes, all you gotta do is finish it.

I've got a pristine Morrow blackout hub I'd like to use but it's 36H and the rims I would use in pic are 32H. Would need about a 175mm axle to do it plus spacers to do it.

Looks like Universal is out of them. This is the fork I mean. http://www.outsideoutfitters.com/p-5221-voodoo-zombie-26-29-fork.aspx
I'll be happy to take some measurements on the one arriving today for you. Do you want me to look for a 36h rim? There are three recycle places here in Seattle and a lot of mountain bikes. The 29er front disk wheel I posted in another thread cost me $40 and although it was true from the start I did retention the spokes and will probably end up painting it (I want blue rims), though I think I could hide the few scratches with a sharpie.
I've read that the Surly fork is HARSH. That the Voodoo and Salsa are the ones the single speed MNT guys prefer due to the compliance. 175 seems pretty wide. Most bikes seem to fit in a 2.25-2.50 tire with an 8/9 spd cassette and disc brake in the common 135 dropout spacing.
Anyway, let me know if I can help.
