How much do you think the process is simplified by converting a 27.5? I've done it with two bikes that are designed around 170/150 suspension and just dropped the fork down to 150. The geo stays pretty close as does the bb height. Your article got me thinking about whether I noticed any of the finer points you mention but I don't think they apply to converting a 27.5 frame - or do they.....?
In any case, I'm glad you are enjoying your mixed wheels. I'm 6'2 and don't need any extra clearance and definitely enjoy the smaller wheels too. The new bronson is definitely tempting to me. Seems like a perfect ride to me.
