I'm 5"9 and I'd like to get a voodoo mountain bike. It's between the voodoo hoodoo and the voodoo bizango. Not sure about the 29ers on the bizango, saw them in person and they do look rather big. But saying that I haven't actually tried them. Any opinions on which to get?

    You'd be looking at at medium size frame or maybe large.

    Those work perfectly fine as 29er.
    .
    The first time I sat on a 29er it seemed like the front tyre stretched off into the next county, but after a while you don't notice it.
    Degintely go for 29 if budget allows it.

    Sorry, nobody here can answer that conclusively for you. Some like 29ers, some 27.5, many still love their 26 inch wheels (though maintaining one is getting harder due to the reducing availability of spares). You are going to have to try a 27.5 back to back with a 29er over the same trails to know which is for you.
    Getting better slowly, one crash at a time!

    If you go by specs alone the Biz wins, but then it costs more.

    Like Matty says, you'd need to ride them back to back to see if the different wheelsizes make any difference to you.

    I haven't ridden a 27.5 bike to see if it is the supposed sweet spot, but I do prefer 26 to 29 inch.
