Are 26 inch wheels good for mountain biking?In regards to performance, 26 inch tires are great for maneuverability. Cornering, riding on narrow trails and ledges is enhanced. They also have less material so they are lighter and excel when you need to hike-a-bike. The compromise is that they do not roll over rocks and rough terrain like their bigger cousins.
Is 26 inch bike tire the same as 700c?Some of you might think the difference in diameter between 26" and 700c is too small to matter. Actually, even though we all know 700c rim is slightly smaller than 27" rim, a 700c rim is a full 2-1/2 inches larger than 26" rim.
What is the difference between a 26 and 29 mountain bike?Because 29er wheels roll over obstacles much easier than 26" wheels, many 29er riders quickly notice that they no longer avoid roots, ruts, rocks, stumps, ect.... that they once used to on their 26" bike. All of this combines into a bike that's generally more stable and adds to the riders level of confidence.
Is 26 inch MTB still good?There is still the same old goodness in 26" wheeled bikes as there ever was, especially if you take a logical and sideways approach to riding or adapt your old 26-inch bike to give you that retro-chic approach. Perhaps they may even come to be considered classics in a few years.
