Thanks qwerty. I was hoping to get a couple of real world measurements.

Particularly interested in Hans Damf 2.35 and High Rollers.

Minion 27.75
Ardent race 27.5

Both on Stan’s arches

Stans Arch Ex with Bontrager XR4. 27.75

mmm 26″ Crest with 2.35 Hans Damf 26.5″

So generally just over an inch difference to diameter.

So generally just over an inch difference to diameter.

Which you’d expect, as they are only 25mm greater on the diameter – so you need 12.5mm extra clearance under the fork arch.

I did think briefly about the possibility of fitting 27.5 wheels to my Patriot. However it’d only raise it off the ground, and tha wouldn’t be any good.

HD 2.35 – 70cm
Magic mary – 71cm

On flow ex, tubeless (so a bit less air in them).

Give or take a few mm

My wheels are 27.75 inches with 2.35 Maxxis HR 2 tyres (Flow EX 650b rims)
