ecotech84 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Hi guys I currently have a 2010 schwinn mesa elite that I want to upgrade.

Amberdrake Posted August 12, 2014 Share Camber very good value for money at that price point. But you will need to do upgrades along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vangar Posted August 12, 2014 Share wait and get a giant stance! This man has a point. Also there is a new Silverback slider on the way. Might be worth waiting to check those out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 12, 2014 Share wait and get a giant stance!No disagreement here... reckon the stance will be a very good value offering.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecotech84 Posted August 12, 2014 Share But isn't the stance a 650b ?What is the difference between a 29er and a 27.5 " ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted August 12, 2014 Share But isn't the stance a 650b ?What is the difference between a 29er and a 27.5 " ?CanOfWorms.open = trueYou will probably get a mixed bag of responses to that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 12, 2014 Share Only difference - wheel size. 275 is (unfortunately, thanks to local distributor short sightedness) outpacing 26" ito tyre choices, but only locally. Â Essentially, it all comes down to what you ride. And how you ride. Wheel size should be the last concern, after geometry, travel, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
