Hi,

I need some advice on deciding between the Scott Spark 730 or Scott Spark 930. I've been reading up on the various differences between the two wheel sizes, but I'm questioning whether it really matters?

Also, I could do with some sizing advice from anyone who rides Scott? I'm 6 foot so I was edging towards the medium size in either of the above. Should I go large? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,
C.

    Wheel size is a very personal thing, the riding you do, your preferences for how a bike feels, what 'floats your boat'.

    Sizing is also personal, depending on the above and also your propositions, not just your height, at six foot you almost certainly need a medium or a large, but which....no one else can tell you.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    Thanks Rookie. The dealer said they would try get hold of a 930 in large for comparison. I'm sort of gravitating towards large. I'll let you know how I get on.

    Wheel size is very personal and down to preference and how you ride.
    For sizing you need to test ride, you could need medium, large or extra-large at 6 foot depending on your proportions.
    I'm 6'1" and would be wanting the extra large spark.
