Is 27.5+ wheelset applicable in 27.5 frame?
Hi. I'm new to this forum and to biking. I've been searching in the google if a 27.5+ wheelset is
applicable to 27.5 bike frame. Almost all the results are: 29 wheels in 27.5 frame. Thank you!

different overall diameters but it share close OD to 29er. Almost any modern 275+ frame will fit 29s and vise versa. Boosted specs are recommended 148 rear and 110mm front.
Boosted specs, has wider chain stays to help fit 2.8 or 3.0" 275+ tires.

As for tires, 2.8" barely fits in my fork, but 2.4" max in the back.
Tons of different hub specs these days, so wheelset choice gets tricky.
