OK just got back home from today’s ride. Same exact loop as my previous two rides, but this time with the 27.5″ wheels front and back but with the 140mm Fox 36 fork and wider 760mm bars. I felt like I bonked halfway through the ride, but I’m 100% sold on the wider bars and smaller wheels for this bike. Just accelerates faster out of the corners and in between techy bits. So much more fun, feels more efficient on the boring fire road bits too. I love it! Strava says my average speed was only 0.1km/hr slower than the 29″ setup, but the 29″ setup is faster on the entire Cliff Trail segment by 39 seconds. That said I got 5 more PR’s today, of note a PR on the Kirrawee Burning Legs Climb and Kirrawee Track Climb Out segments.
