Radon Swoop 175 9.0 27.5" wheel

[TGeorge]

Hi guys,

Sorry if this isn't the correct section of the forum where I can ask something. If it's not, just show me the correct one and I'll continue there.

Now, my problem: I have a Swoop 175 9.0 I think (the one with Fox Float X, without adjustable geometry, as this one in the picture below).

Now I'm running 26" wheels both front and back.
I'm interested in a 27.5" wheelset, but I don't know if I can put one for the back (my fork will accept a 27.5" wheel, but I don't know for the frame). With current 26" wheels and a Hans Damph 2.35" Tyre, there is little space avaible.

Has anyone tried to put a 27.5" rear wheel on this frame?

Thanks,
George

Hi,

it's not possible to use the SWOOP 175 with a 27.5 wheel in the back - there's not enough space. If you're interested in it, feel free to try out a 27.5 fork incl. a 27.5 wheel in the front - we had this combination (26" rear + 27.5 front wheelsize) two years ago (SWOOP 175 7.o EXPERT):

Cheers, Andi

Hi Andi,

Thank you for your answer.
I already tried the 27.5" wheel in the front (now I'm running 160mm fork with 26" wheels and I wanted to see how much difference does a 27.5" front wheel make). I liked the idea so I was interested in a 27.5" for the rear, but I see that it's not possible.

Thank again, probably I'll remain on 26" rear with 27.5" front, it's seems like a good idea and I feel good on this combination.

Cheers,
George

in my memories it was a 170mm Fox front fork like this one
