27.5 or 29? – Page 2 – Bike Forum – Singletrack World Magazine Forum

All things being equal, if a particular bike model you liked was available in both sizes, which one would you pick? I am asking because I have to make a choice as part of an insurance claim, and I have only ever ridden 26" (other than a 'go' on molgrips' 29er). P.S. I know it's subjective. I just want to hear what you like and why, really. And by all means, recommend what you, yourself, have!

TBF, I was meaning that for me, a 29 FS would be too tall, not that it's a format that wouldn't work for some.

He's shopping on Wheelies. I reckon the Longitude is the best bike on there for the OP's uses. Comes with B+ tyres and wheels. Everything else on there seems pretty XC orientated, probably the Orange Clockwork is the next best bet if the Genesis is unavailable...
