For us, there will be 650b, or 27.5 as some want to call it.
A 29er mtb is going to be too big for me especially with front suspension.
A friend just bought one, with dual suspension, big dollar rig, he loves it but forgot to double check the gear ratios with the bigger wheels when he moved up in wheel size. A new crank fixed that, but not a cheap lesson, the shop did not think of it either.
