Kiwi Posted March 4, 2009 Share 29er race bikes are nearly as light as the equivalent 26er. The Gary Fisher Super Fly Carbon 29er frame is 1250 grams. A set of American Classic 29er wheels is 1600 grams. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> So that leaves forks Reba Team 29er Forks 2009 are 1610 to 1745 depending on model. Tires, Kenda Nevegal DTCs weigh in at 1644 grams a pair on my scales, 26er Nevegals are about 1470 grams a pair. So overall not that much difference now. I have a copy in PDF format of a On One Inbred 26er vs On One Inbred 29er test with the same specs from What Mountain Bike 2006 if any one wants I can email it to you, just drop me a PM. It shows the pros and cons of both formats.
