Building a custom 20" Carbon Front Fork

I bought a 650 front fork and cut off material to make it in to a 20". I re-epoxied the drop outs into the ends. This meant that the hub would be narrowed because of the decreasing space. 

I then modified an M5 monoblade hub, and mounted it to a Sun M14 A 18 hole rim.

The distance between drop outs in the modified fork is 80 mm. Note the difference between a standard 100 mm fork.
Another view of the reduced clearance. Completed carbon fork weighs 360 grams.
