It’s all about the difference in physics between a 27.5-inch mountain bike wheel and one which measures 29-inches. For a given composition of rim material and tyre width, a 27.5-inch wheel will be lighter than a 29er. And the lighter a mountain bike wheel is, the less lateral force it requires to lean and turn.
The size of the tube is usually written on the box. Tubes stretch a bit so they fit a variety of sizes. For a 27 x 1 1/4 tire you would need one that says 700x32 which is the equivalent new size of tube, although both the old system and new system are usually written on the packaging.
27.5/26 is a great combo, IMO (maybe better than 27.5/27.5), but one thing to keep in mind is that the offset of the Fox 36 is just 37mm, so you may end up with more trail than you like. I've been very impressed with the improved front end traction and rollover, and I'm not going back to 26" up front.
A quick photo montage showing 26" wheels in 27.5" frame. I have found this to be a nice bike to ride. Nice low centre of gravity, and plenty of clearance to
27-inch tires come in common widths of 1-1/8 inch, 1-1/4 inch, and 1-3/8 inch for some older hybrid and cycloross bikes. The BSD of 27-inch tires is 630mm. 27-inch and 700C tires are close enough in size that the inner tubes are compatible; i.e. you can use a 27-inch inner tube in a 700C tire, and vice-versa. However, you can NOT use a 27-inch
But I reminded myself I'm amortizing it over five years. More, maybe, but I can't predict the future. So if what you really want is this year's 26" Reba, which is what, about a $400 fork, don't think in terms of $200 vs $400 today. Think $40/year vs $80/year. Or divide by however long you're keeping this bike.

can you put 27.5 on a 26
