Cube LTD Pro 26" 2011 Model - 27.5" Conversion Possible?

[Cuber]

Hi there fellow hubbers,

 

I own a Cube LTD Pro 26 inch 2011 hardtail mtb.

It's the same frame as in link (just different specs):

Do you know if I can (easily) do a 27.5 inch wheel conversion? If so, can I just buy a wheelset and replace or anything I need to know?

 

Advice very welcome. Thanks guys!

 

Cheers,

Cuber

I have a Morewood Zula and have the exact same question.

 

Interested to see response.

Hi Jarred, I have seen guys saying that you can convert Zula, even seen guys selling ones that have been converted, so think you'll be ok. Just maybe do some searching on older posts (and even classifieds) on the hub. Don't think I'm in luck though, because looked at space between back wheel and frame, not much... Will probably revert to converting my Trek 8000 which I see can be done.

I will answer myself (for future use ;-)), it's a NO go. Reba shock and also not enough space for back wheel. So it will have to be my Trek 8000...
