Yes, the pairing of a 27.5 fork on a 26 frame is possible! But your riding experience won’t differ much. There are many pros and cons to this pairing. For instance, You’ll get better speed and control. However, you’ll be sacrificing bicycle aesthetics and it’ll be tough to make tight turns.
Your wheel stopping dead with fork fully compressed would be bad. Let all the air out and check it. Other than that, if it fits, it’ll probably be bit tight for mud clearance. And it’ll have
2. Update: Fixed bad calculation for the BB drop, thanks to @mattnz. Physically, it may be possible to fit the fork alone. But the resulting bicycle will be dangerous to ride, for at least two reasons. The wheels with 26" rims vs 29" rims are at least (622 - 559)/2 = 31.5 mm or 1¼ inch lower, meaning everything will be lower, including the
Wheel sizes If you have 27.5/650B or 29in wheels then you need the corresponding size fork. Tip: if you have 26in wheels you can use 26in size forks (obviously) but you can also get away with running a 27.5/650B fork without messing up your bike’s handling significantly.
You're planning to put a 26" fork and 26" wheels on a frame built for 27.5" wheels? You realize what that does to a bike, right? It will drop the front end (shorter a/c on the fork in addition to smaller diameter wheel) which will steepen the head tube angle and will reduce the bike's stability, especially downhill.
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.
He was also the exclusive dealer for a Spanish Motorbike company called GasGas. It was in early 2013 and with the introduction of the 27.5’’ wheel that a serious light bulb went off. He lined up a 29’’ wheel and a 27.5’’ wheel next to a KTM 250XC he was repairing. They shared an almost identical outer wheel circumference front/rear.
The Spawn fork will be better and is a 26" fork so the stack will fit better out of the box. Cub Scout - this could compete with the Spawn but the wheels and tires are just to heavy and out of place. Big i30 wheels with heavy 2.5 minions will suck the fun out of those dirt jumpy sessions.
It is just that for that end of the market they may be afraid that the aftermarket customer looking for a new fork would be afraid that a 26" fork wouldn't suit their 27.5" wheels. [Reply] 1 0
