djbowen1,

I do it, and have not noticed any problems. I assume you are keeping the 27" on the front due to brake reach (that's why I did it). You should be fine.

Get out there and enjoy riding fixed.

Basicaly the front end of the bike will be 4mm higher (now if you can notice that small a difference I'll be impressed :) .
