Hi, I've been a road cyclist for 5 years and just got my first EMTB (Giant Stance E+ 2). I haven't done a proper ride yet but it feels huge compared to the road bike, which is normal and I know I have to get used to it ofcourse - but I was wondering if putting 27.5 wheels would be more suited to the style of riding I will be doing?
I plan to be going to the trails by riding the bike, instead of putting it in a car so there will be a lot of tarmac riding, and easy downhill/trails (since I am new).
Should I get a pair of 27.5 wheels for this purpose and does the 29" Suntour XCR 34 accept them?
Also, the bike is size L suited for 1.79cm+ and I am 1.77 which is another reason I am considering the extra set of wheels, although I don't know if it affects the geometry of the bike?
Thanks!
