AtSea Otter 2017, Shook showed off American Classic's new Smokin' Gun 27.5 and 29er mountain bike wheels. Aimed at riders using 2.5" or wider tires, Shook calls the rim a "mini plus" design thanks to its 40mm internal width. Unlike the carbon rims used by American Classic, the Florida company's tubeless-ready aluminum rims utilize a small
Ido remember when it first arrived (and was called 650b) that 27.5β isnβt the same measurement we use for 26 or 29 wheels. The BSD (bead seat diameter) of a 26β³ tyre is 559mm, a 27.5
Tocomplicate things many 27.5+ bikes can take 29 wheels. Sometimes with a max of a 2.4 tire on the 148 rear. Usually you can fit a 2.8 x 29 tire on the front given the Boost 15x110 fork. Some bikes will take 2.6 x 29 tires on the appropriate width rims 35-40mm inner. The more your bike can fit the better for you.
Ifthe wheel hits an obstacle (the edge of a rock, for example), the contact patch of a 29β³ wheel is further away from the top of the edge than the contact patch of a 27.5β³ wheel, flattening the virtual

I haven't tried to swap because I don't have a set of 29ers. If someone was successful without the fork swap, please let me know. 3. uniballout β’ 2 yr. ago.
Thoughthey're quick to accelerate, 27.5 inch wheels are slower than 29 inch wheels: so to keep the same speed as a 29er, you'll have to pedal harder. Harder to ride on rough terrain The attack angle on
Eachframe size is paired with the wheel that best fits the rider and sets them up for optimal efficiency and power transfer. We pair 29Λ wheels with 17.5Λ and larger bikes, and better-fitting 27.5Λ wheels for 15.5Λ and smaller bikes. Riders looking for the fastest and most efficient XC bikes will be ready to roll with Smart Wheel Size.
