How does it feel with a 26" wheel in a 27.5 fork? I know the offsets are different, so how does that feel in your experience?
Offset with 27.5 fork and 26" wheels
- Thread starter 92SE-R

I rode a 27.5" fox40 on my v10 with 26" wheels this year. I couldn't tell a difference with regard to trail/caster.
feels great to me. but what do i know, my bike is 134% unrideable and my bars are going to explode at any minute. also ardents. yep, i run fuhggin ardents. so really, if you want useful advice, you should do the opposite of what i do and run a 27.5 wheel in a 26 fork on a horst link bike with aluminum bars and some dhf's.

I can't imagine the smaller wheel will feel different aside from A2C, however I did feel like there was a difference between 46mm and 51mm forks using the same wheel. I am not a fan of the 51mm offset and wish I had stuck with the shorter fork. It's not the end of the world, but there are weird aspects in regards to low speed handling that I don't like.
