clement Posted December 17, 2016 Share A better direction to go might be to get keep the 29er wheels and get a shorter stem, wider bars, high volume tires and bigger brake discs. That will take the Scott more toward an all mountain hardtail than 27.5 wheels will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatross Posted December 18, 2016 Share Personally I would spend my cash on a skills course and keep the 29er as is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bspoke Posted December 18, 2016 Share Watch the cranks ground clearance if you like to pedal hard into corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolipoli Posted December 31, 2016 Share I have a Kona Process 111 29er, which I built with 27.5 wheels and a 150mm 27.5 fork instead of the standard 120mm. The long fork counteracts the effect on BB height of the small wheels, and slacks the bike out nicely. Having just spent 4 days on the trails in Rotorua NZ, I can tell you this really works well.

nolipoli Posted January 1, 2017 Share The dropper is lowered in this pic, hence high handlebar appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newboy Posted January 1, 2017 Share My reccommendation if you really want to have a bike that can do both is to look at the 2017 spark or 2017 spez stumpies. But in my honest opinion your bike is great, and upgrading now will mean losing alot of money on your current ride.Add to the list the Ellsworth Epiphany Convert.
