I’ve ridden bmx for years and got my first mountain bike about 18 months ago. I got talked into a 29er because it would be quicker and roll over stuff better, which I agree, it was, but that wasn’t what I wanted. Jumping it felt like I was just along for the ride. I think 29er is great of you want to stay on the ground and go fast. I wanted something playful that I could have fun on and whip around easily. I’ve recently got a new 27.5 bike and it suits my riding style much better. I’d try and have a go on a couple of different bikes if you can

Thank you sir. Is there a reason why the preference for the larger size? Also jumping on 29s seems strange to me, coming from a BMX background, but always happy to be educated!
