This might be a stupid question, but I did a search and couldn't really find an answer, with the new crop of 29/27.5+ bikes can you run both wheel sizes with one 29er fork? Because essentially 27.5+ is almost the same diameter as 29 it seems like you could get away with having just one fork and simply swap out wheels instead of having to install a 27.5+ fork.
Obviously the fork would be optimized for a true 29 inch diameter, but if a 27.5+ wheel and tire is almost the same diameter I can't imagine it being a terrible compromise. Or am I missing something?
Thanks!
