Basically it will slightly mess with the geometry of your bike a bit but that’s about it. I’m assuming you’ll be keeping the 27.5″ wheel on there. If so it won’t be an inch increase. I currently am using a 29″ fork with a 27.5″ wheel on my bike and it works perfectly fine for me.

Can I put 27.5 wheels on a 29 fork?

If you’re doing a 29er fork on a frame intended for 27.5, and you run a 29″ wheel, it will slow the steering down, raise the BB, and slacken the head tube. If you’re running a 27.5 wheel in a 29er fork, regardless of intended rear wheel size, it will make the handling slower and sloppy.

Which is better 26t or 27.5 t?
