I have been riding a Surly Instigator 2.0 as a 26er for this past season- it is a 26+ frame (27.5 compatible). Bike rode great as a 26 and I just recently converted to 27.5 with OEM Sektor forks and Azonic Outlaw wheels- so I spent the lowest amount of cash I needed to get solid parts.
The topic ‘anyone tried fitting 27.5 wheels on 26 frame and forks’ is closed to new replies. The Specialized Hillbilly GRID T9 tyre is the product that we wonder how we ever lived without
Acceleration is faster and easier on smaller wheels compared to larger ones. This means when comparing 26 inch wheels and 27.5 inch wheels, acceleration performance is better on the 26 inch wheels. This is thanks to lower weight which creates a lower moment of inertia. The result is faster acceleration.
