I Think Skaap was trying to say NO!!

Nope. You need a 29er frame.

Nope. You need a 29er frame.

 

and fork and tyres. But it also depends. IF you want to fit 700c wheels and road racer tyres it will fit.

New frame, new fork, new rims, new spokes...

If you're riding a 29 inch bike with 26 inch wheels then yes you can...

No, but you might be able to get away with 650b wheels.

Depending on the fork and frame clearance.

I guess if you can make the wheels fit you are good to go.

Well, at least you got 10/10 on that one.

I you have a Cannondale with enough clearance for the rear wheel, then yes.

Go to planet x bikes and buy a 29er conversion kit - frame, fork, wheels, tyres - the rest will work....

Anything is possible with a 4 pound hammer.
