Can you put 26-inch wheels on a 27.5 frame?
Condensed answer:
A 26-inch wheel can be easily installed on a 27.5 fork if both are disc brake ready
. If the fork uses rim brakes, however, the braze-ons would be a bit higher, and the calipers won’t catch the rim.
What better 27.5 or 29?
Simply put,
a 29er offers more speed, efficiency and stability, while a 27.5-inch bike offers a snappier trail feel
. So unless you are particularly tall or small then the choice of wheel size very much depends on the trail you ride and your personal preference for the ride feel.
