i bought my kona from a guy on the internet with two 24 inch wheels on. im wondering if i could replace the front with a 26 inch wheel without messing with the specific geometry. Thanks!

It will drop your BB and slacken your head angle

Hey, i had a thread for advantages of running a 24" rear wheel couple of weeks back, thats got loads of help in there off the PB family, i had a 24" on my scott, the main thing that put me off that was said was the shallower pitch of the fork putting extra stress on the stem, and its not the designed angle for the forks to operate, in my experience it puts your weight bias further back so the sag is all wrong on the forks.

But search for that thread its worth a look
