You're nearly there, but go the whole hog and fit a 650 pike and 650 wheel. I
have done this on my 2013 Stumpy Evo and it is ace. Looking at it you'd never
know, but riding it you would. BB up to a sensible 339mm (it was far too low)
HA down to a modern 66 degrees, WB increased by 10mm and grip up to 650
standards (I also have a 2015 Orange Five 650 so know the benefits of bigger
hoops!) yet retaining the agility and acceleration of the old 26er Stumpy.
This is a great bike and is far quicker than it was with 26 front end, it also
has better balance in the air and manuals easier. I love it!!
