Pays a lot of dividends in what riding situations Vic? What tire are you running in rear? Sport surface?
Having ridden 29+ Fr/Rr and a mixed setup I prefer 29+/29”. Both my personal bikes are built that way - in addition to riding it on the WR.
The caveat is I’m not thinking of 29+ as a fat bike (26x5 / 27x4 / 29x3) and running light semi-knob tires. No traction issues on regular terrain climbing/descending a 2.5” Minion out back. I’m mainly looking for improved performance descending by running 29+ up front.
I also find the bikes corner better with the non-Plus rear tire.
