1. Well done
2. Good test but sadly it is only focused on DH. Would have liked to see more pedaling section comparisons as that is the main use of a 29er. Is the weight noticeable on the 27.5+ vs 29er for acceleration? What wears you out more?
   This is really the time I would be considering + over 29er and that wasn't really tested here.
3. 27.5+ doesn't make sense, 2.5 tire is biggest tire you should go. Enduro isn't only descend but it's also a climb where 27+ just be faster. There two disciplines in mtb downhill and XC,enduro is just climbing on big,heavy and beafy bike with descend at the end. You should test it on XC on real climbs not just in forest.
4. Question! I was looking into getting a Diamondback Recoil to start mountain biking, would it be best for me, being 6'2", to get a 27.5 or 29er version of it?
5. what size hub do i need with a 29 inch wheel
6. In the video(1:41) he seams to be using the Rockshox digital shock pump for tire pressure readings. Is this accurate? I am looking for a digital tire pressure gauge, and a more accurate shox pump. Can I kill 2 birds with one stone?
7. i have orderd a scott spark 930, a 29er. Can i buy 27.5+ tire and use on the same rim?
8. Awesome video!
9. 27.5+ is only fast until you get a flat
10. Currently on a X-Caliber 8. My first 29er. Been riding 26er wheels for over a decade before this. Don't regret the change. 29er feels so much better!
11. the bike industry is driving me nuts........................
12. This is a brilliant write-up! Certainly the most "scientific" I've seen. I also watched your followup and thought maybe the Santa Cruz Hightower might be a good test bike as it is longer, lower slacker than the 6Fattie, but not as much as the Pole Evolink. Plus the Hightower is on my shortlist and I'd love your opinion. :)
13. thats the best and most comprehensive yes I have seen yet, very well explained too ...... great work guys
14. great test, awesome how you repeated the test multiple times, really makes the results more accurate. good job!
15. Nice video. Can you share your climbing experience with us?
16. If you are tall and need an XL frame, is it better to go for 29er wheels? Or that absolutely doesn't matter?
17. Hi. What size of frame is? And how tall are You? Thx.
18. If i buy a 29er hardtail can i put 27,5 + or even 27.5 on it?
19. boooooooooring
20. Is any racer in world cups 27.5+? If so, which discipline? XC? downhill? enduro?
