Thinking of buying a P7 29 frame as it can run 27.5 plus and 29 wheels. Can one size of fork (e.g Pike boost) fit both wheel sizes, if I decide down the line to switch them out?

We are running a Pike boost in the Turbo Levo can take a 29 x 2.6 and a 27.5 x 3.0 with plenty to spare. I came with 27.5 wheels but Im sure its a 29er fork

I bought a Spark with Fox 34 fitted with 2.8 27.5 tyres and regularly swap them out for 2.3 tyres on 29" rims. Works fine

My Fox 34s fit 27.5x3 and I've even managed to fit a 29x3 into it (they're the boost 29 version)

Ah, I'd be looking to run 27.5 2.8 and 29 2.6 so maybe that would be pushing it. Although if I went 29 fork, would it throw the geo out too much running 27.5?

My Norco sight (27.5) is set up with a boost plus/29 fork. It does both fine but I've mainly used it with a 27.5x2.4 non plus wheel very successfully. In fact I prefer the handling to a proper 27.5 fork

Running a set of Manitou Magnum 100 27.5+ forks on my Titus Rockstar with a 29 boost wheel. Works for me.
