8 Things We Learned at the La Bresse World Cup
@endurocat: I would advise you read the article. It says only the "expert" base model is available in 27.5 in all frame sizes. The other 2 sizes have restricted offerings in 27.5. or you can buy the frame and build it however you want....

He won, that's all that really matters. You'll just have to take not knowing to the grave.

@endurocat: pretty sure you can't even buy the bike he raced on -- only available in 29.... I think you'd have to build it up frame only. Pretty lame.

First Ride: Kona Operator CR 29"
29er wheels will also act on the suspension less as well. Obviously a big part of having suspension is the ability for the wheel to track the ground. Making the wheel heavier and decreasing the approach angle of the wheel on small/medium bumps will change how the suspension tracks the ground. This effect would probably be much less noticeable (if at all) on a high pivot, longer, more flexible rear like the commencal supreme. On a bike with a shorter, rigid, low pivot like this Kona the effect will likely be more noticeable
