back to the build i have two other options 1: forget the 69er but keep the 29er fork and use a 26 inch wheel(equivalent to a 26 inch fork with 130mm of travel) 2
r i can get a rigid fork with a 20mm axle, a new front wheel, make it geared (all i would need is a rear deraiilluer), the fork can replace a 3-4 or 5-6 inch travel fork
