I have a 2021 Specialized Fuse 27.5+ and I want to convert it to a full 29er. I also want to extend the travel limit to 140 currently it’s at 130.

Has anyone tried this before? And will increasing the travel be bad for the bike?

If you’re changing the tire, wheel, and fork it might make sense to look for a comparable used bike.

A 29 tire takes 20mm more space than a 27.5 (622mm - 584mm(diameter)/ 2 (per side)). A 27.5 x 2.8 (70mm) is the same diameter as a 29 x 1.9/2.0 (50mm).

On a hardtail, it might make sense to put a plush tire in the rear for suspension and tall tire in front to get over obstacles. Maybe go 29 front only.

That would work fine.
