The wheel size debate: 27.5” and 29” wheels is a big topic in the mountain bike world. Everyone’s talking about the difference between the two wheel sizes, w
You might ask, can I put a 26 wheel on a 27.5 fork? This question is commonly asked since the frame and fork sizes are different. If you have disc brakes you can easily put a 26-inch wheel on a 27.5 fork. It’ll be in the range of the calipers. However, rim brakes won’t be sufficient in this case. The calipers will be way off.
The 27.5 version takes up to a 2.8 inch tire and runs out to 170mm. The 29er chassis is spec at 27.5x3 and 29x2.6 up to 160mm. From personal experience, I can say the 29 chassis will take a 29x2.8 inch and some 29x3 inch tires. The MRP Ribbon is an amazing fork.
My 2.35 hans dampf 26er was taller overall than my 2.3 purgatory in 27.5. The only way you can get a significant "mullet" setup is to run a 2.1 26er and a >2.4 27.5 up front. Then you have poor rear traction and a wonky bike anyway. Theres no benefit or reason to use a 26 wheel. Its inconsequentially smaller, rim choice sucks, tire choice sucks.
Noisy rear hub. The Norco Fluid FS 4 is the best budget-friendly full-suspension mountain bike we have ridden by a healthy margin. This bike exudes confidence on the descent and felt extremely composed and capable on difficult terrain. In fact, it was easy to forget we were riding a "budget" bike while we found the flow. Not long ago, mountain bikers didn’t have a choice when it came to wheel sizes—26 inches was pretty much the only option. But once 29- and 27.5-inch wheels hit the market, the debate amongst bikers took off and has continued ever since. 29ers, once reserved for taller riders and cross-country racing, have since evolved to fit smaller frames, while 27.5 mountain bikes have never looked The 27.5 is regarded to have a lesser impact on the bike's overall geometry, but its easier to fit a 21" wheel on the 29er. That being said, its possible to put a flat crown on the 29 and replace the headset as well, which would get you closer to the geometry of the 27.5 and still retain the advantage of better clearance for a 21" wheel. 1. A decimal sized 26" wheel has a 559mm rim. A 27.5" wheel has a 584mm rim. (A 29" (or 700c) wheel has a 622mm rim and a regular 27" wheel has a 630mm rim.) The difference between 559 and 584 is only 25mm, and the difference in tire clearance is half that -- about 12mm or 0.47 inches. So, tire widths being reasonably equal, you lose less than

We measured each front wheel inflated to 10 psi. Here are the numbers taken from 4 sets of wheels to begin to compare 27.5″ wheels to 26″ wheels. A) This is a wheelset that closely resembles the size (rim diameter and width) that have been spec’d as original equipment on most fat-bikes that have been sold for the last five years. (80mm
