New project have ?'s

[RawCustumz]

I want to do a 24" frame with a 20" bent fork.
Im gonna do 20" wheels front and back

1st ? Will a 20" fork work on a 24" frame and if so what measurements are most important?
2nd ? I would like to do a disc brake set up on either just rear or both front and rear can you add disc brakes to any rim??
Thanks for your time
Bernie

Headset height would be first thing to measure to swap fork. For disc brakes need wider dropout and fork. I just put my disc on my OCC fork, it has no room for pads. Then you will need find a way to attach pads housing on frame and fork. Unless I'm missed something.

Disc only work with rims that has bolt for disc. Cheap disc adapter can work on rear threaded freewheel hub. For rear either double threaded freewheel hub or hub already have bolts for disc

I started a similar project a while back with a 26" frame. I used a fork from a BMX bike, it fit prefect.

Thanks for input
I think im gonna just buy frame and fork and hope for best.
Found out the wheels I want wont support disc brakes but thats ok cause they are nice enough that I dont mind.
Thanks again.
Once I start picking up parts I will post project and progress pics
