Hey everyone! Thanks for accepting my request! I just acquired a mountain bike called vision werxs 1.5. I just learned that my tires are labeled 26x2. 1. Does this mean that I cannot switch to 27.5? I can't find anything written on the rim if it's compatible with 27.5. All I know is the parts are all stock. I hope someone can enlighten me. Cheers!

If the frame is a 26er then it is not advisable to use a 27.5 rims.

Using 27.5 tires on a 26er frame works, but not all the time. The reason why it's not advisable is because of the tire clearance on the frame and fork. If it's forced, mud and other stuff that stick to the tire might hit the frame and the fork during the ride.

Searched google for "Vision Werxs" and it looks like you won't be able to convert to a 27.5. The forks can easily be swapped for a 27.5 fork to fit a 27.5 wheel, but the problem here is the frame. Based on what I saw, you'll have a hard time fitting a 27.5 wheel in the rear. 26" wheel already looks close to the seat stays. |
