I've just bought a new 2016 pair of 27.5 150mm revs. I already have a pair of dt swiss carbon 150mm 26" forks. Looking at the dimensions side by side they look almost identical. What's stopping me using the dt swiss forks on my 27.5 build? Cheers.

Not a lot bar possible tyre clearance issues under the brace, though most 27.5" set-ups seem to run far closer than their 26" counterparts anyway(and obviously, the 27.5" will be at least 3% faster too).

I can put up with the 3% as I'm the slowest anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

Check clearance under the crown [b]at full compression[/b] as well as brace clearance.
