MTB for bikepacking; 27.5 v 29?
Hello mountain bikers,
I don't own a MTB but have done a fair amount of bikepacking with my gravel bike, approximately 1500 miles. So I can explore more single track BP routes I'm considering buying a MTB. It seems 29 inch wheels are the best way to go but manuafacturers as still making and selling a lot 27.5. All my gravel bike trips have been on 700c wheels (same size as 29s) but of course the MTB tires on 29s will be bigger/wider/different.
What are the pros and cons of 27.5 MTB wheels in general and when bikepacking specifically?
Thank you in advance for your helpful comments and replies.
