Anybody have any thoughts about putting a 27.5 fork and tire on a 26" Tracer VP?
I have a 2009 Tracer VP and been thinking about the new Rock Shox Pike.
I'd eventually like to switch to a 27.5 frame so I don't really want to buy a 26" fork.
So I was thinking about getting a 27.5 Pike and a 27.5 wheel built up and throwing it on there until I get a 27.5 frame.
I know it will slacken the head angle a little, maybe 0.5 degrees? Which is fine with me. The BB will get raised a 0.5 inch? Not sure.
Anybody try this or have any input?
I know folks run 27.5 wheels on 26" forks, is this very similar?
I have a 2007 Marzocchi 66SL ATA on there now, dialed down to 170-160mm. So it shouldn't be that different, should it?
Thanks.
