Hello All, I am new to MTB world and very excited to start my off-road adventure as my hobby on weekends. I read alot of topics and discussion regarding selection of beginner MTB but still not sure to go for 26' or 27.5 or as preferred 29'. Lots of local shops in PE advise me to go for 29er. As I am 6 ft 1' and quite muscular guy. Please help me out getting in one direction and also advice me of good beginner level MTB (under 8K ZAR) choices. (any good place to buy in PE) Your valuable suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks. Syed!

@All - many thanks guyz for your valuable feedback. Much appreciated. Thanks

Hello All, I am new to MTB and just purchased my first MTB (GT Karakoram 4.0) and already started to get use to it by riding some road and off patches but not the proper MTB trail. My MTB has 3x8 Gear shifting and I am still not able to learn which is best combination for road/off-track efficient riding. Can someone explain or suggest best gear combinations for different terrains/trails/uphill/downhill. Many thanks in advance. Regard

Many thanlks Guyz for valuable feedback. My preference to 29er was due to my height and weight issue. i went to many LBS and they all suggested me to go for 29er instead of 26. I am 6ft 1inch and weight around 85. I do not know whether 26 will be okay for me or not.
