Last weekend i had a couple of bikes stolen so my insurance is buying me new bikes.
My problem is i have been to quite a few bike shops and i feel like the people at the shops are either telling me what they think i want to hear or are trying to sell me what they have on the floor.
So I'm hoping to get some honest opinions from people who know!
Bikes i have had are
2012 Giant trance x3 roughly 2k
Lapierre Xflow 412. roughly 4.5k
I think over all the trance was a better ride for me, but i loved climbing on the flow!
I will just be doing general trail riding, nothing too full on downhill.
I do a lot of uphill riding on the road and my preference is up over down, and yes i understand i have to go down too.
which leads me to my other question....
My last bike was 26"
So 27.5 or 29 and why?
