ryanbritchford Posted August 13, 2014 Share I think you already have everything you need. 29er soft tail is perfect. Don't think you need and changes there mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChUkKy Posted August 13, 2014 Share What would happen if you take a 29er full suss and put a 27.5 on the rear and leave the front as is? The same if you wore crocs to a fancy restaurant, people will point and laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillon Posted August 13, 2014 Share you might slap your pedals more often on rocks as the BB height will drop a littleThat is exactly what happens, then you fall hard, did exactly that on sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marnitz Nienaber Posted August 14, 2014 Share You can play with tyre sizes to get the same advantage. Tyre circumference according to cat eye : 26" x 2.1 2068mm26" x 2.35 2083mm 650 x 20C 1938mm650 x 23C 1944mm650 x 35A 2090mm650 x 38A 2125mm The different size bikes and gears are only a market ploy by manufacturers to stimulate sales, it all depend on the engine, in this case you, the one that's pushing the pedals......... My argument remain the same, if a bigger circumference was so good, why don't they use it on downhill bikes, and why has a BMW GS 1200 off road bike got 17" wheels and not 29" ? Why hasn't the road bikes changed to 29" ? Are we been lead by our noses by the manufacturers ??? Only asking ??? PS I think the manufactures will get hold of your idea and in the couple of years time when the 650B crase has died down, they will build your 29" Front 650B rear and change the UCI rules.
