bob87 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 what sort of wheels/hubs are you talkin about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
python_man Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 just a normal 26inch disk hub and a normal say echo front rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 The spacing for front hubs are the same but for the rear the spacing for 26" is bigger that 20". I think you can run 26" disc forks with a 20" disc wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 as long as its the same sized axel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 There all 10mm or qr axels nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yeah, but the width/length is different from a mod and stock mod is 116mm? and stock is 135mm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felippe Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 and also make sure there is enough room for peddaling as the 26" fork is made for bigger wheel, so the whole bike will be set a little lower with 20" wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbjosh Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 ^^ you my friend i think are wrong, if you put 26" forks on a MOD, you will raise it, or sometimes it wont do a thing as some mod forks are very high., and yes for the front wheel it doesnt matter, as long as the holes are the same number(rim and hub by the way).and yes you can run a disk as your disk mounts are made for each other if you get me.

Towler Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I ran 26" forks on my mod a while ago with my hope xc built onto a 20" rim, Should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
