Purchasinga bike is an investment and an important part of your outdoor activity routine. Making sure the components are compatible is key to a successful ride and a good experience. Asking whether you can put 27.5 wheels on a 29 bike is a reasonable question.

This died off relatively quickly, but 29ers held on. Then 27.5 came back, with a vengeance. It would take a lot to convince me to go back to 29 F and R for enduro. Iguess 27,5 may suit you better but it really is down to your personal preference. I can't imagine 27,5 getting outdated anytime soon, as it still is the most popular wheel size even though 29 is already around for some time. choadspanker • 5 yr. ago.

The 26” will be on older bikes, mainly mountain bikes. The 27.5 is a larger mountain bike tyre, so in turn the 29” is an even bigger mountain bike tyre. SNi4M.
