Liteville 301. I would be happy to put 26" wheels in any 27.5" frame though. Put a high volume tyre on like a 2.4" Ardent, and most people probably won't even notice. Your BB will be about 1/2" lower. Might be a false economy if you end up building a 27.5" bike over time though?

What's the free length of the spring?

Seating just means what you've said above; getting the tyre bead to seat properly in the rim. I've tried to make an adapter out of a presta cap and couldn't get it to work either. If you plan to be doing all your tyres tubeless a compressor is a good investment. If you can't afford one, I know...

A compressor helps a lot with stubborn tyres. Mounting the tyres to the rims you want to use with a tube and leaving it for a day or two can help. A detergent solution will help the tyres seat on the rims. If you can remove your valve core, you can get more air in quicker, bead the tyres, then...

Not downhill, but I've been doing exactly this for the past month or so with my Liteville 301. My frame in an XL which has generous stays for 650b fitment and the fork is a 650b Pike. I rode the bike with 650b front and rear for a few months and wasn't enjoying riding as much as i did on...

Bump, offers taken. Also realised these are missing the compression adjuster knob. Happy to adjust price accordingly.

It's actually pretty easy if you inflate the tube to the size tyre you're trying to fit it to. I've used 26" tubes as a trail-side fix for 650b, 29" and 700c (touring size tyres) with no problems at all.
