Im looking to buy a new fork for my Stanton Switchback which is a 27.5 bike, But I really want the extra offset that comes with the 29" fork, does anyone foresee any problems running a 27.5 wheel on a 29" fork?

Set up will be as follows - 27.5 110 x 15mm boost hub with 30mm rim running 2.6", fork is a Fox FIT 160mm boost fitment.

Thanks in advance :D

    No issue other than that the front of the bike will be about 20mm higher (the extra lower leg length) for the same travel, so you should perhaps consider reducing the travel to compensate.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
