Has anyone attempted to convert a 29er xc to a 27.5? I am thinking of trying it out... I'm a small rider and I find the 29" wheels are big and clumsy. I do appreciate the "roll over" abilities but would like the bike to be a little more nimble.
I've been comparing the 29er & 27.5 geometry specs and there is very slight, subtle differences (a degree on the head tube / seat tube, and inch on the chain stay). I'm looking for some expert wisdom and if anyone is willing to lend me a set of 27.5 wheels to try it for a quick spin, that would be really kewl.
Cheers!
