So, a bit of feedback on my first Pyga ride on Saturday...Probably old hat to the Pyga owners. But also some info on the OneTen with 650B wheels. I spent 3 hrs riding Big Red Barn. Half of the time with 650B wheels and the 2nd half with 29er wheels. I'm a 29er fan so this is not a "which is better" comment. We did a lot of the black diamond newer section on the 650B wheels. Thankfully the rain has settled the fresh ground. The Pyga really does climb VERY well and it is the first time I've actually managed to ride 98% of the section without putting my feet down! I blame my buddy in front of me stopping on a steep climb for the 2% . Grip on the rear wheel was superb! With the 650B I was able to turn easier and manage the tight climbing turns with more confidence and balance. This is no new revelation really and written a million times before. I think the lower center of gravity with slower sections favour smaller wheels. But I really enjoyed the smaller wheels dare I say!!! A big fun factor! Changing to 29re wheels, I struggled on the first few corners and it took me a few kms to get into a rhythm. I then realized that the 29er wheels where caring a lot more speed into the corners! Yip 29ers do roll much faster. I lost the accuracy of the 650B but gained effortless speed on the bigger wheels. Anyway...enough of the wheels. I have to say the Pyga is really a pleasure to ride. Hardly any adjustment to riding the bike. It just felt natural. So happy that it climbs well. My concerns of carrying the extra weight of the Alu frame was unfounded. At 12.4kg, I"m not disappointed. Today it goes to the Trailhead for an overhaul on bearings, pivots and shocks. Hoping to play again on the weekend. Happy Pyga owner
