explosifpete
Old School Hero
just built myself up an explosif as a cheap replacement to the 29er I just sold.
Sprec it much like everyone else does, fox thomson, hope, stans ect not to exciting.........
until today I rode it to work and thought I would see if a pair of 27.5" wheels would fit...they did.
So I went for a quick ride thinking that it would handle badly and the bb would feel really high but it didn't and it rode better than with the 26" wheels :shock:
So i'm now looking at a set of new rims and tyres
should I do it? the clearances are fine, i know i need to fiddle with the fork to stop it hitting the front tyre but it easily done
oddly I think it looks more 'right' with the big wheels but that could be because i look at 29ers and 650s all day
