I get a Maxxis enema when I ride steeps on 29, very rare on 27.5. Mullet would solve that problem.

Love my Transition carbon Scout 27.5. 29 is ye teats but the 27.5 is a hoot to ride.
Let me know if you want to buy it."All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."

Machine built trails are perfect for lazy e-bikers!

We need to settle this over a bowl of red curry poutine.

Next spring when the 30" wheels hit the market your 27.5 won't be worth shit. Neither will your 29er. The 30" wheel set will revolutionize cycling.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

650b is euro, so therefore it goes faster uphill.

You are on the right track…but acoustic bikes are forbidden in Europe now, they slow everyone down too much.

if all you ride is shuttled mostly downhill trails and love to go really fast brake super hard rutting out and washboarding the trail before every switch back then a 29ers is for you
if you acutally like to ride a bike and have skills then a 27.5 is the bomb
if you like a bike ass bike then you might as well go buy an ebike that handles like a tank in the switchbacks and makes you look week
I have no idea how a chick or a dude at lets say 5-3 can think a 29er is a good bike for them
I got a 27.5 lg travel that is a blast and a 29er 22lb hardtail that rolls real fast
