Your wheel size should be determined more by the type of riding you want to do, not your height. Iwan Kemp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted January 3, 2014 Share What's wrong with 26" ????You still have to peddle the damn bike.... Some guy once remarked that "It's not about the bike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ckk Posted January 3, 2014 Share Type of riding is karoo to coast and longer distances. I generally go slow over rocks cause i am scared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ckk Posted January 3, 2014 Share Nice bike. A bit out of my budget. But see you do not like 27.5. What size to you have now? 29? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
