Two Bikes in One? Surly Bridge Club 700c vs 27.5" Conversion

🔧 Turn Your Surly Bridge Club Into TWO Bikes! 🔧
In this video, we show you how to transform your Surly Bridge Club into two completely different bikes—just by swapping the wheels. Whether you're looking to switch from 700c to 27.5" or the other way around, we walk you through the exact hub spacing, wheel compatibility, and parts you’ll need to make it happen.

🛠️ We use Boyd wheelsets (GVL 700c and Stumphouse 27.5") and explain how to convert from thru axle to quick release using hub end caps—perfect for the Gnot Boost 138mm spacing on the Bridge Club.
