Which mountain bikes are purposefully built to be 27.5 and 29 compatible, similar to Rocky Mountain Pipeline I'm looking to get a bike that was designed to handle both 27.5 and 29 wheels so that i can have a single bike and swap wheels when feel like modifying the riding characteristics.
I was looking at the Rocky mountain Pipeline that was designed to handle both wheel sizes and has a 9 position flip switch to help adjust the geometry based on the wheel size being used.
Was wondering if anyone knows of other companies and models that are designed with this same option in mind.
Thanks.
27.5x2.8 and 29x2.4 have approximately the same outside diameter of the inflated tire. Same with 27.5x3 and 29x2.5-6ish. All 27+ bikes can run 29; it's implicit whether they're marketed as such or not, although many are. In the other direction, bikes presented as native 29, there may not be enough side clearance for a 27+. Older 29ers would typically not have that kind of clearance to spare, but the whole 27+/29 interchangeability thing got big around 2016 and many made since then have it.
