Hey guys could use some advice. I currently have a 26" XC FS Bike with a BBSHD kit and 17ah pack. My primary use case is to go mountain biking on the weekend. I ride most of the trails in North Georgia I dont do any down hill stuff mostly trail rides, single track. Anyway I want to change platforms to either a 29er mullet or 27.5 bike full suspension. I would like a bit more ground clearance and the ability to plow over stuff which my current bike is not as well suited to do. What other benefits are there for going to a larger wheel on an e-bike? What do you guys recommend. Also looking to downsize my battery as I want to store it under the saddle and not on the downtube. I just need the pack to last for a couple of hours riding with minimal throttle engagement. The 17ah pack last anywhere from 2 to 3 rides so I bought way to much battery. What size would you recommend? Any gotcha's when considering a newer larger bike? I know that after 2011 most bottom brackets are pressed fit and I would need an adapter and that BB's widths are typically a bit larger on a newer bikes so I probably wont be able to use my existing kit. Any other considerations that I should be aware of?
Would you recommend a Trail or Enduro? I was thinking a Trail bike 140-160mm travel would be more than enough knowing I wont be doing any big jumps.
How does the BBSHD fair on a 29er is it harder on wear & tear of the drivetrain?
