Wanting to buy a new mountain bike and contemplating between a 26" or a 29" Rockrider 5.3. Here are the links.

26" 5.3 http://www.decathlon.co.uk/rockrider-53 ... 06682.html

29" 5.3 http://www.decathlon.co.uk/rockrider-bi ... 02905.html

So here's the advice I want.

The 29" has hydraulic forks (And is every so slightly lighter, but not enough to worry about) would I be better off with the better fork? Or will it be a budget one. I am a noob at buying these things so any knowledge to feedback to me about the 2 would be great.

That is about the only difference. What should I get ideally? As I said, I don't need advice on whether I want a 26" or 29", just advice on components.

    They both have damped, and very similar forks. In fact except for the sizes they are almost identical bikes. The descriptions are just a bit vague.
    I also don't believe the weights.
    Both are very good bikes for the money.

    As above, those forks are pretty much identical, it's just the wording of the descriptions.

    I did think so but wasn't sure, thank you clearing that up.
