    eh. I’ll sit in yours and wes’ and make an educated guess. At the end of the day, I’ll probably just go with what I get a deal on.

    I just don’t want 27.5 to become obsolete like 26 has.

    I don’t need FS for the stuff I ride 90% of the time. I’d like to keep riding a hardtail and progress on that then maybe go to a FS for the next bike.

    I need to ride a 29 before i consider it. Coming from what i come from even a 27.5 feels huge.

    I don't care what anybody rides lol, I was just pointing out saying "I'm gonna stay 27.5 because it's more agile than 29" is a weak point to make....especially for us beginners.

    I'm just a big tire guy. I'm not a great rider so it allows me some freedom to make mistakes, but still allows me to improve and learn. It feels phenomenal on the "chunky" loose rock stuff that you can't avoid on the trails. If we were ripping it around berms and doing crazy jump transfers and stuff I'd see the advantages of smaller tires I'd think, but for now 29s are really suiting me.

    It’s not a weak point if I feel more comfortable on the 27.5.

    The actual weak point is that I haven’t been on either.

    lol but you didn't say you feel more comfortable! I agree with you. I've actually been on both, but on two drastically different bikes so I don't see mine as a fair comparison either. I simply said the argument for beginners of "one being more agile" is a weak point.
