your going to go slow, you might as well ride trials.



I find on a lot of terrain, a 29er is not as fast as a 26 with a
downhill tyre. It just can't roll over as much as the fat downhill tyre,
you fall off more on rocks, you can't ride uphill quite so well, and you
generally end up being not as fast.

The 26 just isn't that much slower on easy terrain either - it's a
pretty similar gear due to the big tyre, just with a heavier wheel.
