My mate has a bizango and for the money it's decent.....but anyway, 29ers are faster. Unless you are really going to be slinging it into berms and doing jumpy stuff all the time, or putting into a car and going to a 'trail centre' (a cuntish label, if ever there was one).
I won't ride a 26" anymore, as 29" is faster......it has transformed my bike riding over the last 5years. 27.5" is nothing more than a compromise, bought about by the marketing bollox written in magazines.......who also are responsible for "trail centres".
So, to end my angry post, my summary in a nutshell..
26" if you are young and want to do jumpy/hurty stuff
29" for the grown ups.
That ought to get the flames going......I'm fucking grouchy today
