Just curious as to how many people run 29+ upfront with a 27+ out back. I've heard folk mention it a few times and wondered if it was quite common. It goes without saying that pics would be good ๐Ÿ™‚

Out of interest, why would you do that? What's the benefit?

I prefer bigger wheels generally, so would take 29+ front and rear if I could.

Also - my frame is a sample/prototype with a lower than production BB. Big front wheel lifts it just enough, and slackens HA a little, while also being a little smoother in chunderry stuff than 650+ front (which I initially used).

Love it.
