You can use 700c wheels on most standard MTBs provided they’re disc brake and provided you only use narrow tyres. (The overall wheel diameter of a 700c wheel with a 23mm slick tyre on is only slightly bigger than a 26″ wheel with a 2.2 tyre on). There are of course 29er MTBs, which are designed to use 700c wheels.
Look at your bike’s tires. Somewhere on them, you’ll find numbers along the lines of “700 x *Width* c”. For example, “700 x 23c”. 700 is the diameter, and the second number is the tire width. Sometimes the “c” will be written after the 700 instead of after the tire width (i.e. 700c x 23). Some manufacturers have chosen to write
Just put 26" wheel into 275 fork, plenty of mud clearance, slackens your head angle by 0,5 degree, win win. Their 27.5 350 are also made for 26 wheels as they have the same axle to Crown
The idea behind having the longer rake on the 27.5" fork is to account for the extra 1/2" the 27.5" wheel lifts the axle off the ground. This extra rake keeps the bikes handling characteristics

Fox 29 Forks have 29"/27.5+ on them so can run both sizes. Thats the bonus of 29er forks vs just 27.5 forks. Oh, Make sure the forks Rake/Offset is the same as your forks. Fox 29 come in 44mm and

You want the replacement to be as close to the original as possible, to preserve the designed geometry. There are forks that can take either a 27.5 or a 29er wheel. UgKk.
