hi Guys
i'm thinking taking my Intense Carbine 29" (enduro bike) and replace the wheels to 27.5"
is it possible?
will i enjoy the 27.5 advantages?
can it damage the frame (carbon)
thanks for your help
Eli
thanks guys
my ride is enduro light, i do not race or jump off more than 3 feet (i had band injury),
most of my trails are without rocks, or little rocks.
is it still something that may cause damage to the bike or its components?
no it won't directly cause damage to the bike or components.
the smaller wheel diameter will lower your bottom bracket height, and likely increase the odds of pedal strikes.
The nuts of it is that you can do it, but you'll be paying at least a minor penalty. Want to ride a 27.5, buy a bike that's designed for it. The difference, however, is so small as to be effectively trivial.
