Can one convert a 29" to a 27.5"

[Hairy]

And have no benefit whatsoever...

 

ROFL. Buy some better niner wheels. And just why do you want the nukeproofs, specifically?

Because 27.5" or 650B is the "New Black" dude.

Take me to your dealer!

Oh. Yeah. I forgot. How doff of me.

There was that one time that I had white grips that didn't match my bike so I bought a new bike. Made sense at the time.

You can also cut off your fingers if your arse itches. That way you won't have stinky fingers.

 

Must say, you will gain some very nice mud clearance and changing the rear shock, you could go from a say 100mm to possibly 120mm travel suspension in the rear. Also watch your chainstay design. Some designers have a narrowing (right there where the 650b tire will be) before opening up to the tire close to the downtube.

My opinion:

 

1. Leave the bike just like that.

 

2. If getting those 650b wheels so badly that you would suffer from depression if you don't get them, sell your 29" frame and wheels, get a 650b frame and those wheels, or just sell the entire 29er and get a 650b.

Hi all

 

Thx for the feedback

 

I merely looked at this option as I can't get the rims I want for my bike in 29".............I want white or yellow rims.

 

White I gave up on as only ZTR manufactures them.......American Classic used to but don't for 2013...........DT Swiss is pretty much the same.....and the rest of the guys dont do it period.

 

So NO.......it was more a question to see if it's viable, which it aint as I dont want to sell my Lefty, not after everything I have done thus on her

 

Just really wish I could get a set of white 29'r rims............

Get the rims you want in 29er then and get them powder coated the colour you want

Why not buy rims, paint white and get that guy on the hub to make you new stickers?

[NotSoBigBen]

Can the colour of rims be THAT important you would want to change the wheel size of a 29r

[Jokerman923]

Awesome

 

Thx Niner Boy......

 

I see you get the rims I have now in white.....perfect !!!!! Exactly what I want

[Jokerman923]

NotSoBigBen......it's all about the detail hey

 

First time ever that I have struggled locally to get what I want for my bike.......so it's become a bit of a quest really

 

And then I saw those Nukeproof yellow rims which is totally different......and started "toying" with the idea
