Hi
I'm looking at getting a new bike and i quite like the new cube acid. But im not sure whether to get it in 27.5 or 29er. The hardest trail I'll be doing is Dalby Forest red route,im 6ft and 15st,what you you guys go for any help appreciated

    i recently got a 650b and ride dalby red on it fine,I wonder if ome of the uphill switchbacks might be over tight on a 29'er but im a novice really so no jack all!
  • I have the acid 29. for the 1st week it steered like a cow but i think that was more to do with the fact its my 1st bike in 25 years. with minimal practice and a few youtube instructionals i have found hard cornering not to be an issue. its a dream going up hill, fast on the flat and flows beautifully over rough goat track. i have nothing to compare it to but it feels great to ride and looks amazing. i suppose you just get used to what you have.
