Hypothetical question, if a 27.5 frame designed for a 120 fork had a 29er 100mm fork with roughly the same a2c, what effect would the extra rake on the fork have and would there be any other potential issues?

Using a 27.5 wheel? No real issues at all.

What is the difference in rake between each fork? Hypothetically they could have the same rake...

Thanks both for the reply.

The 27.5 fork is 42mm offset, looking at the specs the 29er would be either 46 or 51, im just waiting to find out. This would be using the 27.5 wheel
