135 mm Spacing is the norm for current mountain bikes and hybrids. 140, 145, 160 mm Spacings are used on tandems. 140 is pretty much extinct--current tandems either use 145 or 160. Steel frames can generally be respaced to fit a wider hub with no problem, just by bending the stays outward.
You can put 27.5-inch wheels on a 26-inch wheel mountain bike if the following are true: The bike fork clearance can accommodate a 1” greater wheel radius, measured from the axle to the top of the tire vs. the axle to the top clearance point of the fork. The old and new wheel axles are the same widths. The rear wheel gearing cassette is
The actual diameters of the rims are: 26″=22in/559mm. 27.5″=23in/584mm. The difference in rim diameter between 26″ and 27.5″ wheels is closer to 1in/25mm than 1.5in/37.5mm. The bottom bracket is expected to drop approximately 0.5in or 12.7mm. So, the tires are flat if the 26-inch electric bicycle kit is on the 27.5 frames.
