MrJacques Posted March 31, 2012 Share So, there has been a lot of discussion lately about the different wheel sizes lately. MBA did a practical comparison and here are their results: http://www.mbaction.com/Main/News/Shootout_Wheel_Wars_29_vs_275_vs_26_5159.aspx My opinion: it's great to have more choice, ride the wheel size that works for you.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 31, 2012 Share weekend warrior & half marathon material - PYGA. The anthem is more XC, and is, imho, to "racey" if you're also looking for something that will give you the ability of being able to do the gnarly stuff. PYGA gets my vote.

Capricorn Posted March 31, 2012 Share it's time the mods merge all these damn threads about wheel sizes. Dunno why this couldnt have been appended to one of the existing threads. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arendoog Posted March 31, 2012 Share Depends on who is riding the bike I've found that a ds bike is faster for me. I can pedal through some bumpy sections where I would have to stand up in the past. The added comfort means I'm less also tired towards the end. The Giant Anthem 29er has some good reviews and is within your price range. If you are willing to wait a little while the Pyga Industries 29er might be worth waiting for. Depends on who is riding the bike I've found that a ds bike is faster for me.

North Shore Posted April 1, 2012 Share At that price you can look at the Specialized Stumpjumper, I have the 2011 model and it's wicked fun, pretty much nothing you can't tackle on it, with top end specs. If you're looking for something that's a little faster go for the Spec Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
