Hi Reed. Psyched to hear you’re enjoying the switch. I can’t be too specific on bumping up the front end as I didn’t ride it that way (though I plan to go full 27.5 again and see) but if geo, including the length of the front centre, remains close to your stock setup, I imagine it could feel quite good. That’s not to say that moving to a longer rear centre wouldn’t be even better, though, especially when many large bikes—you mention you’re 6’2”—still don’t have an adequate rear centre to begin with. That’s changing though.
What did you convert?
