Hi
I've got some x fusion forks that are 26" but I've put some 27.5 wheels on them and they look fine do I need to 'alter' them to run 27.5 or can I just leave them as they are?
There is ample room between the tyres and the fork bridge could they be 27.5 already?
Any advice would be great
Cheers
Nope, they are designed to take either. Obviously there is more clearance in 26 guise but I've run them with 27.5 2.4 tyres with no issue. You can adjust travel internally if you need to.
Thanks martinhutch that's what I wanted to hear
IIRC the 27.5 version uses a spacer to limit the travel by 10mm to prevent the tyre hitting the crown. It means you get 10mm more stanchion showing (so you'll show 140mm for 130mm of travel for example) and isn't the same as a travel change.
