27.5 wheelset

[Welshman]

if i was to buy a set of 27.5 wheels....what size tyres would i require to match the 29ers with 2.25s fitted???

all help appreciated, as i'm wanting to fit Moto Xs if i can to the commuter

Circumference of a 29*2.25 is approx 2313mm. A 27.5*2.8 is approx 2322mm

Information gleaned from here; Berkshire Sports - Bike Computer Tire Size Calculator

As an aside, why would you want to change wheel size? 29 rolls better than 27.5 so should make better commuting wheels.

Busted up rim on the rear........so just looking at options

Just had some scwalbe big ben 2.0 arrive......so will put them on the spare Emtb and switch that to the commuter

Repair rear wheel on other emtb and switch that to the weekender machine

All sorted for now ???
