i was looking at the yeti looks a great bike not to sure about it being a 29er but. have you had any experience riding these bikes?

I own an aeries. I'd recommend a Capra, but it might be overbiked?

Bird also have a 120 coming out which should be nice.

i really like the capra but not sure if i should spend that sort of money on a bike as im trying to save for a house. id love to buy this bike

How tall are you, if you are quite tall and envisage doing long rides, a 29 would make more sense, otherwise I'd probably fo 27.5, however, look at the overall bike, wheel size really isn't the be all and end all unless you're racing.

im around 5'11 6 foot. is a 29 better for climbs?

I'd say the quality and weight of the wheel/hub set would be more important than the rim size.

All quite different bikes. I'd get the Capra.

But if I was trail riding mostly, it'd be the Jeffsy.

yeah it will be mostly on trails really dont know what to do here lol. really like the jeffsy its just them 29 inch wheels putting me off as ive never ridden a 29er but it is getting great reviews, most yeti bikes seem to get great reviews

large frame is sold out on the jeffsy to

Got to think that Yeti's are expensive in the UK. They cost a fortune where I am and I only live a few miles from their HQ.

Yeti is very expensive, along the lines of Santa Cruz.

Your not going to get much bang for buck there.

dont think the conversion rate great is great at the minute the way im working it out the jeffsy comp1 is going to cost around £2000 give or take.

i noticed yeti charge you £20 for the bike to be put in a box the miserable sods and then another £60 to ship

The equivlant Yeti to Jeffsy is £3600 unless I'm mistaken?

It's quite hard to compare the two at that price.
