29+ & 27+ / 27.5+ Hardtail Frames
« on: May 31, 2018, 10:41:47 AM »
I'm trying to get my head around what frames will fit 27.5+ plus tires. I don't have any interest in 29+... been there, too much inertia for my tight trails.
I would be happy with a frame that can fit a 2.8, so maybe some 29er frames will work?
Here's my list so far:
1) FM-M796+
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/T800-mtb-carbon-frame-27-5er-mountain-bicycle-27-5-inch-plus-thru-axle-frame-FM/32804199504.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.pMQ2kT
Steep head angle, only two sizes, BB92, Boost or 142mm rear
2) CS-496 (the e-stay bike)
http://www.carbonspeedbikes.com/shop/mountain/cs-496-27-529-plus-frameset/
Modern head angle, but not enough stack for my taste, bottom bracket may be a bit low with B+ tires, BB92
3) CS-496 copy (another e-stay bike)

PF30, Boost, 27.5+, but more head tube length than the CS-496
4) FM-299

This is the frame with the dropped right chainstay.
BB92, 71 HA, 21" size available but no geo listed.
5) FM-476

BB92, says QR or thru axle, but I'm guessing it's boost. This one actually looks pretty good, 21" size available, 69.5 head angle.
I'm sure there's more out there, what else have you seen?
