Love to get some feedback on this.

I've been thinking of trying to set up 27.5 & 29 wheels on my bikes.

I've read up about it but want first hand experience here.

So, question...

Bike #1 Full suspension:
Would you go 27.5 front or back and why?

Bike #2 Hard Tail:
Same question: Would you go 27.5 front or back and why?
