Ckk Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I am 165 cm and going to buy a new merida bike. Only thing i am debating is whether to take the 27.5 or the 29. Any advice?
Ckk Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Ok well it makes my decision easier. I am a woman so still 27.5?
arendoog Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Ok well it makes my decision easier. I am a woman so still 27.5?yup!
Ckk Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Ok thanks very much. Seems like 27.5 is a winner . I have a 26er so will be an improvement
Ckk Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 And for a guy? My husband wants to take the 29. He is strong in his legs but only a bit taller than me

Mook Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 What's wrong with 26" ????You still have to peddle the damn bike.... Some guy once remarked that "It's not about the bike"
Ckk Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Type of riding is karoo to coast and longer distances. I generally go slow over rocks cause i am scared

Accelerate Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Before you buy the Merida have a look at my Cube 27.5" in the classifieds https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/72079-bargain-275%e2%80%9d-cube-carbon-ds-mtb/
Ckk Posted January 3, 2014 Author Posted January 3, 2014 Nice bike. A bit out of my budget. But see you do not like 27.5. What size to you have now? 29?
