I've got a Cube stereo hybrid 140 which is a 29er. my mate has got the identical bike but 160 (27.5) when I overhaul his headset im going to put his back wheel on mine and give it a blast. if all goes well I'll get myself a 27.5 wheel, tyre, rotar and cassette.

I'm aware that this will alter the geometry slightly and may make the front end a bit light on the climbs. other than that, is there anything else I should take into consideration?

Your bottom bracket will get lower, if you have issues with pedal strikes currently take that into account

Your reach will get shorter as well.

How did you get on with the mullet conversion mate?
