Hello,everyone:
Can 29er MTB frame assembled with 27.5er wheels?Are there any insecurity factors?

PeterXu:
Yes, sure.

See attached pictures, N-SS HR740C 40mm width 27.5er wheels on CS-256 SL 29er frame, 2.8'' front and rear tires mounted on the 27.5er wheels

This bike was built by one customer from the US.

Oolak:
I actually didn't realize you could do this, or perhaps I just never thought about it. Seems like it'd be an easy way to try out the wheel size and/or bigger tyres.

RS VR6:
Would you really want to do it? It would bring the bottom bracket that much closer to the ground.  ???

Yeah good point. I guess it depends on the the geometry of the frame. You're probably right tho, bad idea, in general.
