Putting to the side all the diatribes, at the end of the story the difference in radius between 650b and 26 is just around 1cm, and to use a 26 wheel on
Your bike wheel size plays a role in the acceleration, and when it comes to choosing the right mountain bike wheel size, remember that the 27.5-inch wheels will accelerate faster than the larger wheels. The 29-inch wheels can still accelerate quickly, but depending on your riding style, it may be a better option to choose the thinner tire width.
Wheel size refers to the diameter of the wheel and is less important than the size of the frame. Mountain bike wheels come in three basic sizes: 26″, 27.5, and 29″. Very petite women may want a 26″ wheels but most will be best served by a 27.5″ or 29″ wheel. These two wheel sizes are becoming more common on modern mountain bikes, so
The most popular versions of the mullet bike tend to feature 29-inch front wheels and 27.5-inch rear wheels. These sizes are both relatively new to mountain biking, and they’re the key to the design’s performance on roads and trails, with just the right amount of diameter variation between them. They’re not the only options available, though.

However, with XCO courses becoming more and more technical and riders demanding bigger tires and dropper posts to tackle them, 10kg bikes are rarer than ever.
26ers and 29ers are great bikes that serve different purposes. The 26er has stronger wheels for smoother, more technical trails and downhills, while the 29er is ideal for tough and uneven terrains (rocky, with stumps, etc.), as it offers more traction, control, confidence, and better performance on longer, uneven rides. Depending on the level
