27.5 wheels on a Sight?

I've had my Sight (2023, L, 29" wheels) since February, really like it, but didn't realise until I tried my friend's 27.5 YT the other day how much friskier smaller wheels felt.

What would I do if I wanted to try out 27.5 wheels on my Sight? Is it as simple as taking the current wheels off and putting on smaller ones, or does it require a different linkage or other things for it to ride well?

(Mostly ride trails in North Vancouver, bit of time at Squamish, not got as far as Whistler this year)

Big Iron and steel

Did my normal 15 mile or so evening loop of pavement, gravel roads, and farm trails. Freight train was halted for the night at one of the crossings in the middle of a cornfield. Enjoy the gratuitous glamour shots of a well loved steel Norco.

Overstroke on Norco Fluid VLT rear shock

Norco Fluid VLT with a Fox FLOAT X2 rear shock. I've read posts about people increasing the travel on the Fluid. Has anyone done this with the VLT? Be sick it to get to to 145-150mm in the rear.

If the Norco warranty dept ever find this post. I'm asking for a friend.
