29er Vs 26er
by Solomon Isaacs
If you're planning to buy a new mountain bike, the decision making process just got a whole lot harder! It is difficult enough choosing which brand to go for and what type of frame/suspension/brakes/gears you should choose. Well, now you have the additional choice of 29 or 26inch wheels just to confuse you even more! Making the right choice is imperative, particularly with mountain bikes costing a substantial amount for a decent model.
29inch or '29er' wheels are a relatively new idea that is fast making its way into the mainstream. There is plenty of debate flying around as to whether the 29er out-performs the standard 26inch wheel. There are many pros and cons for each and careful consideration needs to be taken in order to make the right choice. Before you part with your money, you need to make sure that you have absolutely made the right choice for you.
To many people, the fact that there is even a debate going on about a mere 3inch difference in size could seem baffling. However, that three inches makes a heck of a lot of difference; much more so than you might expect! When you stand them side-by-side, the difference becomes instantly apparent. What's more, 29ers have been getting increasingly popular over the years, and this must surely be for a good reason.
The main benefit of having the extra diameter on your wheels is that you can tackle small rocks and divots with minimum effort. The extra diameter allows the wheel to travel over small obstacle virtually effortlessly and with the extra comfort. With 29er wheels, you pretty much get the same ride as you'd expect from a bike with dual suspension, mainly because of the added weight and a slight decrease in manoeuvrability.
29inch wheels can run at lower pressure than the standard 26inch wheel. This increases the surface area of the wheel, meaning that you get more grip and a straighter ride. However, this extra grip and the sheer size of the wheel mean that it is more difficult to turn on tight corners. If you are prone to taking to more technically challenging trails with tight, twisty tracks, then a standard 26inch wheel might be the better option. However, if you are looking for a more solid ride with the knowledge that you have the best grip available, 29er could well be the choice for you.
It's clear to see why <a href='http://www.behindthebikeshed.co.uk/29er-frames/'>29er</a> mountain bikes are becoming so popular. Take a look for yourself here.
