A 26-gauge roof is not only thicker but also heavier than 29-gauge. The added weight gives the roof a greater chance of staying intact in the event of a very heavy wind storm. 26 gauge will out-perform any 29 gauge material. In hail prone areas, a heavier gauge will make sense due to impact-resistance. With a circumference that’s 11.5% bigger, a 29er tyre will have an 11.5% larger air volume. So all things being equal, you should be able to run a 29er tyre with 11.5% lower air pressure than an equivalent 26-inch tyre. If you typically run 30psi in 26-inch wheels, you should be able to use 26.5psi with 29-inch wheels. Hi John. The wheel size referred to as 29″ or as a ’29er’ on modern mountain bikes is in fact an ISO 622 wheel. The name is due to the outside diameter of a mountain bike tire mounted on that rim being approximately 29 inches. This is the same reason an ISO 559mm rim is called 26″, even though 559mm is nowhere close to 26 inches. Slower speed. Though they're quick to accelerate, 27.5 inch wheels are slower than 29 inch wheels: so to keep the same speed as a 29er, you'll have to pedal harder. Harder to ride on rough terrain. The attack angle on smaller wheels is steeper, and therefore loose, rocky trails are particularly hard going. You will lose around 3 FPS due to imperfections in human release mechanics. 17 + 20 + 22 + 5 + 3 = 67 FPS that have been lost. This means that the actual FPS of your bow will be 320 – 67 = 253 FPS. Of course, things don’t need to be that bad. If you are using a 70 lbs. draw weight, your compound bow would have a 270 FPS. . The 27.5 wheel is notorious for being a great compromise between agility and speed. Since the 27.5 wheel is smaller than a 29, but larger than a 26, this makes the bike easier to maneuver, accelerate, and corner. Not that you can’t do any of this on a 29er, but it’s genuinely easier to do with a smaller wheel size. Ejection fraction is measured as a percentage of the total amount of blood in your heart that is pumped out with each heartbeat. A normal ejection fraction is 50 percent or higher. An ejection fraction below 40 percent means your heart isn’t pumping enough blood and may be failing. A low ejection fraction number can be an indicator of heart There is no wrong size. You are tall enough to be riding either. 27.5" is better for cornering and jumps. 29" is better for technical riding and going fast. [deleted] • 4 yr. ago. 27.5" is better for cornering and jumps. Not really. The wheel size has very little to do with how a bike behaves. The ride position that 27.5″ full-suspension mountain bikes or 27.5″ hardtail mountain bikes use feels the most natural of the three, translating to improved handling and comfort. Additionally, they are more agile and maneuverable, accelerate faster, and are lighter than 29ers. Compared to 26″ wheels, the speed and rollover ability are So I swapped out the stock 27.5” Fox 34 140mm with a 29” Fox 34 130mm. Why the drop in travel? 29” forks will always have a longer axle to crown measurement than a 27.5” fork with the same travel. I dropped 10mm to help mitigate this increase in front end height. Even with the drop in travel, the fork was still taller than the stock

is 29 better than 27.5
