  1. I'm sure it would, it will look crazy though


  2. If you mean will a fork intended for a 26-inch wheel work on a bike with 20-inch wheels, just remember you will not be able to use the brakes.

    Remember the brake mounts for the 26-inch fork is positioned to let the brake pads squeeze the 26" wheel's rims to slow it down.  The brakes will be out of position to work with 20-inch wheels.

  3. I don't think so.  You will completely s***w the geometry, it will make it too slack (you will turn slooowly), and probably put a lot more stress in the headtube area.  Also, that thing that another poster said about brakes is also very right.  Unless you go for disc brakes, which would mean changing your front hub...
