• Most likely moving to the lakes in June and my gf is preemptively eyeing up bigger bikes (currently she rides a 100mm hardtail). What lightweight trail bike should she buy? Maybe she needs a 'downcountry' bike?

    The new Canyon Neuron 7 WMN on cycle-to-work seems hard to ignore, it's the alu version with XT kit and a Fox 34 grip for £2600. Anyone ridden one? Does @skinny ride a neuron?

    I noticed the xs and s come with 27.5 wheels. Is this a dealbreaker? Or will it not matter?

  • 27.5 seems sensible for the smaller person. Went through this looking for a new bike for my youngest who's ended up on a mullet hardtail. Lots of deals out there on 27.5 forks, wheels and tyres.
