But I reminded myself I'm amortizing it over five years. More, maybe, but I can't predict the future. So if what you really want is this year's 26" Reba, which is what, about a $400 fork, don't think in terms of $200 vs $400 today. Think $40/year vs $80/year. Or divide by however long you're keeping this bike.
Always carry a presta-valved 27.5 tube with me as a spare, can be used for 26/27.5/29 wheels with presta/schrader size valve holes so covers all bases. Posted 5 years ago cokie
Yes you can switch between the 2 no problem. You can even run a 26x3 wheelset on it if you want to! A lot of people who have a bridge club for 27.5 wheels just buy a set of WTB horizon tires for road use, because it's much cheaper than buying a whole new wheelset. They'll fit perfect on the stock rims, it's just more of a PITA to swap tires
We had previously put 29" front wheels and 3.0 tires on our Stumpjumper 6-Fatties (keeping the OEM 27.5x3 wheels/tires in the back) and liked it so much we did the same with the e-bikes. Levo "79er" specs: front: 29er rim, 30mm inner width, Bontrager 29x3.0 XR2 (Chupacabra) tire. rear: 27.5 rim, 45mm inner width, Bulldozer 29x3 tire.
700C x 28mm = 678mm = 650B x 47mm. 700C x 32mm = 686mm = 650B x 50mm. 700C x 35mm = 692mm = 27.5 x 2.1”. 700C x 38mm = 698mm = 27.5 x 2.25”. Generally speaking, the main reason folks are making the switch to 650B is to have wider tires, but that’s just one part of the equation. Consider these additional reasons….
29 x 2.1 inches. 29 x 2.3 inches. 27.5 x 2.8 inches. Ideal tire pressure. 30 psi. 24.6 psi. 17.7 psi. As you can see above, a wider tire requires more pressure. However, this is just a sample and a guideline – always check your manufacturer’s specifications by looking at the sidewall of your mountain bike tires.
We don’t suggest choosing the largest or smallest values of a size range. For example, with a range from 1.9” to 2.1”, 2.0” is an optimal option for most riders. The chart is only applicable to Light Bicycle rims with a unique rim-tire interface. If you use rims of other brands, please send a rim profile to the tire maker for
Most road bikes use 622mm (700c or 29″) wheels, whereas mountain bike wheels vary depending on what MTB discipline you’re riding or how tall you are. Smaller riders with shorter arms can struggle with steering on a 29er, while taller riders can find 26-inch MTBs too small.
With a regular 29/700c fork, you can use rim or disk brakes, depending on fork. Check the manufacturer’s specifications carefully before you decide which fork to buy! On the 26 inch suspension corrected, you’ll need disk brakes to put a 29 inch wheel. A mountain bike modified in this way is called a 69er.
If you put on the smaller wheel size with a standard size tire (27.5 x 2.4ish), you are going to drop your bottom bracket height a fair amount. Is there a big difference between 27.5 and 29? 27.5 in. wheels have faster acceleration while 29ers are more efficient on longer rides.
While it may be possible to put 700c tyres on a 26 inch bike, professionals do not recommend it. The wheel size difference can affect the gravel bike’s handling, stability, and overall performance. Additionally, there may be compatibility clearance issues with the frame and calliper brakes. 700c tyres are a common size for road bikes, so it
Jul 28, 2020. #3. Too many potential issues and may ride like shit. A 150mm 27.5 fork may be similar to a 130mm 29 fork axle to crown, so you may be back to the factory head angle, but your BB will likely be LOW. I would really recommend finding a 27.5 frame. They should be cheap because 27.5 non-plus is dead.
Some say screwing the cash cow, some say supply and demand capitalism but everyone can agree that if you're at 26 and want 27.5, this is a cost effective way to make that happen. [Reply] 4 3
27.5/26 Mix Mixing 27.5 front/26 rear can be a successful way to "fudge" modern geometry on older bikes. I built up a 1999 Schwinn 4 Banger like this. It works really well. But.the BB height is 13.5" with a 2.3 rear tire. If I go with a 2.1 rear I can bring the BB height down a bit. I like the bigger tires, so I live with the BB height.
