Does anyone know if you can get the rear coversion as have seen pics on internet
Have seen someone post up about it on MTBR (go to the Transition forum) Don't think he changed any drop outs or anything just stuck a 650b wheel in there.
Dunno why you would tho #26iskeepinitreal 🙂
I emailed Transition about this early last year and they seemed to think there would be clearance issues.
Borrow a 275 wheel and let us know.
Only problem is the BB will go up and you won't be able to compensate with offset bushings. Maybe a -1/1.5 headset could help a bit.
Are the Covert 275 dropouts different to the Covert 26 or did they change the whole rear end?
I've just built up a used Bandit frame and I'm thinking I might do the same if the rear will take a 650b. No rush mind you, but it'd ease any eventual abandonment of 26". I think maybe the Bandit would be ok with having the BB a bit higher.
