I'm considering putting a 27.5 x 1.95 tyre and wheelset on my 2014 Boardman hybrid team and wondering if anyone else has experienced doing this or something similar. There seems to be enough clearance upfront but it looks a bit tight in the rear.

    You could invent a new trend, the 759er (29" front, 27.5" rear).;)

    I might have to. My 27.5 x 2.25 MTB wheel and tire fits upfront with space to spare.

    Similar in that I have 26" MTB wheels and tyres on a Carrera Gryphon, the Carerra will only just take 32mm 700c (about 1mm clearance) but mine's running 1.5" (38mm) 26" as they sit further back in the seat stays.
