What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital." - Aaron Levenstein. "For every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong." - H. L. Mencken. It's not really a big issue. 700C wheels have a bead-seat diameter of 622mm, for 27" it's 630mm. 8mm difference in diameter is 4mm radius, so if you put 700C wheels on a frame designed for 27" the brake needs to reach 4mm further -- less than 1/4 inch. Often the existing caliper will have that much adjustability, and if not, long-reach brakes 325mm. 335-345mm. 355mm. 14.0″. 335mm. 345-355mm. 365mm. Tire width can have a dramatic affect by creating more traction on dry road surfaces when using the maximum tire width. Or maybe you’re interested in fuel efficiency and want to go with the minimum tire width possible. 1457 posts · Joined 2017. #11 · Nov 10, 2019. 650b is the road standard. 27.5" is what it is called in the mountain world. Both are 584 rim diameter. They are the same size. In the mountain world we call it 27.5". In the road world, they call it 650b. If you hear the former, you know they're talking about a mountain bike. Parts diagrams will be your friend. if the csu is common to both the 29 and 27.5 you may be able to buy a set of lowers and use them to replace the 27.5 ones. Probably cheaper to buy some used Stage is actually 26/27.5 but the 27.5 specific Pike shouldnt be an issue. I probably had the same reasoning as you, had a 26 but future plans to go 27.5 and wanted to try a new fork and spread out the costs. A2C was within a couple mm and the swap didn't cause any handling issues. Loved the new fork for the last few months of the riding season kem2Ptp.
