Which is actually faster? 26" vs. 29er
Ever find yourself wondering which is actually faster between a 29er and a 26inch XC bike? Aiden Bishop was, so he conducted some tests.. Check it out.
Here's what Aiden had to say...
I was keen to find out just how much faster a 29er is over a 26" wheeled bike. So I pitched my Cannondale Scalpel carbon 26" wheeled bike up against a Cannondale Flash Carbon 29er. Fitted with the same Maxxis tyres on the same Mavic Crossmax SLR wheels, same track, same day, same rider...the results were conclusive!
Do you agree? Share your experiences with both wheel sizes...
