>>1961610wheelsize depends on how tall you are mainly
but also use case
for me 29 feels horribly cumbersome and huge and heavy inconvinient and handles like shit
27.5 is fine i guess thats what im riding atm on my main bike, fine for on the road but still a bit cumbersome when i need to get my bike inside but id say its a good balence and doesnt handle as bad as 29
26 feels a little slower and less smooth but i much prefer it for all the above reasons
its also just what im used to because untill recently every bike i rode all my life has been 26 or smaller
i also have a bike with 20 inch wheels which are really fun and convinient but feel way too slow and rough for my rides
im 5`5 so yeah for me its 26 it just feels right
if youre taller or a racer or something bigger wheels will be worth it but if you need to do any kind of technical riding or putting your bike indoors in cars in trains and stuff the big wheels are gonna be cumbersome
im thinking of putting a 24 inch wheel on the back of my 26 bike to really get a fun nimble and convinient ride
i think im gonna leave my "road bike" with 27.5 though as the speed and smoothness is worth it for the inconvinience and i dont nees nimble handling when i ride that bike
anyway dont fall for marketing memes op theres never a need to change if 26 feels fine to you then it is fine
just like 3x gears and rim brakes theres nothing wrong with them and better is a very subjective thing
theres probably 100 other things more important about your bike than its wheel size
