Are there any ramifications from a performance perspective to running a 27.5 wheel in a 29-inch Zeb ultimate fork vs purchasing a 27.5 specific Zeb?

I put 27.5" wheels on my Levo SL. The bottom bracket is about 19 mm lower and the trail is slightly less than with 29" wheels. I am not good enough of a rider to notice any difference in the trail and I don't ride trails where I am likely to have a pedal strike so the reduced ground clearance has not been an issue.

Plus around here we have other things to worry about. ;)
