Replacement Bike Dilemma

The insurance has agreed to replace my bikes and so now I have a dilema… 29er or 27.5, full suss or HT?

Any advice on the pros for 29er full suss mtb.   Some say full suss 29ers are only good in straight lines and the cornering is hopeless, comments?

I’m 5ft 8 and would usually ride standard medium bikes, any thoughts on 29er geometry – should I be trying out small frames.

I’ll pop in to Dales at the weekend for a tryout but any advice or experience gratefully accepted.

  1. Hi Steve,
    Guess it’s down to preference. I still prefer the 26 to the 29ers and medium frame. Find them easier to ride and manoeuvre. 29s just too big for me and agree with the comments Full sus for sure and ensure its a trails bike. I use a downhill bike and it’s not the best for a hike. Again get to Dales and try some out. You’ll know yourself.
