With the same 27.5 fork or a 26" fork with a 10mm higher axle to crown, you'll drop about half an inch. With a 26" fork, you'll drop about 0.7". Depends on the frame but I wouldn't do it with many of them under a 13.5" BB stock. But it adds a lot more stability running into things and in crappy traction corners.A 26 inch wheel is 559mm. A 27.5" is 584 in diameter. 584 - 559 = 25mm. 25mm = 1 inch. Edit: using the geo calculator, it looks like the BB would drop about 1/2" not 1" like I had thought, so it
Your wheel stopping dead with fork fully compressed would be bad. Let all the air out and check it. Other than that, if it fits, it’ll probably be bit tight for mud clearance. And it’ll have
You might save weight if you’re upgrading from a truly entry-level fork, but generally more travel requires longer stanchions that will result in a heavier part. As forks get longer, stanchions also increase in diameter to prevent the fork from flexing like a wet noodle. They call this a Fox 34 because it has 34mm (diameter) stanchions.

Yeti Cycles is a high-end mountain bike manufacturer. We are Ride Driven. The bike is officially 28” sized but after going through the specs and doing a couple measurements I’m confused as to what size I really need. The current fork (28” as mentioned) has a axle-to-crown length of 405 mm. The Ogre fork, advertised as 27.5” to 29” has a whopping 447 mm while the 26” is at 420 mm (spec’d and measured). uD83R. 478 217 220 12 72 374 441 131 464
