29+ & 27+ / Re: New CarbonSpeed 27.5+/29+ Frame
« on: June 21, 2016, 12:30:03 AM »
I have decided that I will try 29+ in both ends and see how this feels. The main reason is that I have a 6-inch trail bike with 27,5 wheels and this will be replaced with a 29+ FS when I can find a bike I like (maybe next season). Then I will have only 29er wheels except for the rear wheel on this accutal bike... Right now I have too many wheel (26, 27,5, 29) and tires (city, commuting, winther, trail, downhill) in my garage and I will narrow it down to only 29er.
Regarding chainring: I think I will follow your advice with a 34t chainring. Start with a 11-42 cassette and if this is to heavy i will boost this to 50t.
I can't decide if I should go for Sram or shimano drivetrain... Pricewise shimano is much better and the possibility to boost the cassette to 50t is also a point. Sram eagle is way out of my budget... How is the performance with Sram GX?
