Depends on which year V10. 2014+ SHOULD be able to use both. Just with slight geometry changes.

he could probably use 27.5 with the older ones just with smaller tires. like 2.3s or 2.2s

Gotcha guys! Thanks! What are guys running in 27.5 in front and rear? Just trying to put two and two together so to speak. Can buy a 27.5 around 3-4000. And can get a 26er around 2000-3000. Just really want fox 40 up front and fox in rear. With 27.5! Get 26er, sell the 26er suspension and wheelset to get money for 27.5 setup. Didnt know if it is worth doing?

You'd be better off selling what you have and buying a new 27.5 DH. There's really too much hassle to buy a 26'er and convert it into 27.5

You'd get roughly $400 (CAD) to $700 depending on fork and $300 to $600 depending on wheelset. 27.5 forks, even used, cost over $500, minimum. Wheelsets would depend, guesstimate of $400 to $2000. I don't think that's saving too much money Confused
