29er "pedals easier"

I have a friend who just bought a new 29"-wheel Motobecane MTB and swears that, due to the larger-diameter wheels, it "pedals easier" than his old 26"-wheel MTB did. Have you ever heard anyone say this before? I have. Since the contention does not seem correct to me, I was just curious about how you gentlemen would respond to it? "Glad you like your new ride! Already gathered some Strava data to compare? There are so many more variables beside rim diameter that influence pedaling effort. IIRC, you last inspected the rotten 26"-bike's hubs near the end of the 90-day warranty period. Doesn't matter, let's meet for a ride -- and see if you really go faster with your new 'cane." |
