I am fortunate enough to have a 26 dual and 29HT. The 29 hurts more on long rides, yes rolling resistance better etc but how much time is spent going up,then you have to turn the wheels on every pedal and you work harder. Its fun but if you have 1 bike or want to do long rides...26 dual! Pros train hard, can ride anything! what will happen when the 27,5inch takes hold>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
