just a thought as I have a hardtail with fox 120 forks and wondered if this was possible ? and also to save money !
cheers
X-Fusion claim their 26" forks are OK for 650b.
Check the rolling radius and you may be OK with your Foxes.

.75" extra...I doubt it unless you use narrow tires, which would be a bit pointless.
its almost too good to be true really ...I think fox are bringing out a 650b fork ?
Check the rolling radius of the wheel and tyre combo....If you can run 26x2.5" you may be able to run 650b x 2.1" or possibly 2.25"

oh I see how it works now ..well so stans flows can take that I think, so should be ok ish
What frame have you got? All Fox forks work with 650b, not sure with what tyres though. Have a look on the 650b thread on MTBR and the 650B Palace website...I think both have lists of what frames and forks are compatible.
my frame is a 2012 ns surge so it has plenty of room I think
thanks for the info guys ....big help 🙂
There's a big ol' list of compatible frames on mtbr. It seems forks are the real problem, but not for much longer.
I've got to say, I'd be tempted if I had the funds to change fork as well as wheels.

It seems that fox forks are ok so that would save money too !
Your forks will fit in terms of the arch. You also mut check your specific wheel/tyre/fork combination fits under the crown at full travel by letting all the air out and leaning on the fork.
If you have a hardtail, it's just a matter of trying the wheel in the frame.

Richie - you need full suspension, not more wheels!!!
Happy Birthday though 😀
cheers clucas ....see you out on the trails 🙂
