Contemplating 2009-2012 used fs frames, stumpys marins etc. In a size small. But wondering if any 26" frames have the clearance to fit a 27.5 wheel?

I'm fairly confident that you need to avoid DW link Turners - my '09 Flux hasn't got a lot of clearance with a 2.2 Maxxis Ardent on the back (which is a fairly large volume 26" tyre but still not the same diameter as a 27.5" wheel with a tyre on it). Don't know how much that helps...

And I've run cyclo cross wheels on my Mount Vision.
