I guess there's no reason not to fit a 650b fork on a 26" bike with 26" wheels is there?
I would go for the same travel, my frame can take a 160mm fork so would use a 150mm 650b for the same A to C.

    No issue, in fact some of the latest forks for 26" bikes are designed to be used for 650B as well as it just needs another 13mm of arch to tyre clearance.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    Some use different offsets.

    Im thinking of replacing my Revelation RLT with a Marzocchi 350 CR. The offset is 40mm for both forks.
