Bought a 29inch Vitus nucleus VR can anyone help with wheel advice.

[Jimbo]

I recently bought the Vitus Nucleus 29 VR from chainreaction and i am happy with it but im thinking maybes i should have bought the one with 27.5 wheels on and not the 29 as its harder to accelerate. I sent an email to customer support asking if they could reccomend a 27.5 wheelset and they said cant put 27.5 on the 29vr because its different frame. But my understanding is its exactlly the same frame. So question is can anyone point me in the right direction just in case in future i want to change wheels to 27.5. Can anyone recommend a matching 27.5 wheelset that would fit. Thanks.

That's great thank you for the help. I guess I've just found it a different ride as I mainly used a hybrid Boardman comp which is closer to a road bike than a mtb. I'm only using to commute to and from work at the moment but do plan some off roading soon though. So next question for anyone, any reccomdation for 27.5 wheels I see there's a few on rainforest. Budget Maybes. £200.

Some really great advice there thank you all. I'm going to need it and leave the wheels as is. Yes the bike just feels harder to ride compared to my Boardman comp. I'm 5.9 so not overly short and I suppose as was said the tyres are new and Maybes just not suited to road riding to work and back. Other than that it's a really nice ride. So I've made the decision to keep it for off roading days out and as a good back up, it comes with good reputation. Meanwhile my Boardman I've ordered some new tyres and I know this is a terrible thing to admit but I've never changed them and I've never suffered a puncture and I've owned the bike since 2016! So I'll use Boardman for work and Vitus for fun. Oh I bought bike 21st September but I've rode it a few times so they probably wouldn't accept back now? I've no qualms keeping though just wish I'd known was going to be much different ride.

Edit.. Just checked 30 day trial was between 28 Sept and 21st October I was before so guess I'll have to keep.
