My mate is building a full sus 29er. Probably XC style.

I'd quite like to join him on his trail rides. But as his FTP is 100 watts more than mine on the road. I can see keeping up being painful on a fully rigid SS 29er. So I'm looking at building a budget bouncer. I was thinking 26" wheels as I'm barely 5'7". Then breaking down and selling off the Spot (sad face)

I could use the fatbike. But I've never owned a full sus, and reasons.

Thoughts?
Any epic deals around on this defunct wheel sizesize?

I'm amazed really, considering where you live.

My off road riding days were in the West Country.

Started off as a 10 year old riding down steep valleys on a BMX. The amount of broken steel frames, compared to few broken bones is amazing. Think we used to bounce better back then.
