For me, the guy from dt swiss summed it up perfectly, when he wants to go out and have fun he rides a 26" and when he wants to go fast he rides a 29". For me the whole reason I ride bikes is to have fun, sure going fast and beating your mates, gives you bragging rights at the end of the day; when I get home after having spent all day on the trails, I'm not thinking of the inconsequential numbers that pop up on the speedo, I think of how awesome that day was, how pinned it felt to rail that corner. At the end of the day for 95% of us who ride, it's about getting out there and riding trails, even for those that race my experience is that most of us are there for a good time and not looking for a spot on the podium. For those who are looking for a spot on the podium go for a bigger wheel, for the rest of us, who just ride for the enjoyment of it, isn't 26" still the most fun?
