me and my sister are trying to decide if we should get a 29 or a 36er. i want a 29 because im only 5'2" and i wanted to do some muni, and my sister wants to get a 36er, but thats just too much wheel for me! btw my sister is 5'10" and she doesnt think a 29er will be fast enough on the road. have any advice?
@skatedonthate88 I have both 29er and 36er. I love my 29er for offroad, but you can't do big drops because the wheel is so much bigger than the standard 24" MUNi, and therefore weaker, and it's much harder to ride super technical trails with it. But it's pretty fast on less technical trails. It also isn't bad as a commuter, with 110 or shorter cranks, but nothing really compare to a 36er for going long distances. The 29er is far more versatile though.
@lizzieswe Thanks Lizzy. Yeah it is challenging to ride rocky terrain, even on a smaller 24", and it's much steeper and difficult than it looks! You can get a sense of that watching the "bails" at the end, lol! And this was just my 2nd time riding my new 29er. I love it!
Love how you hold on to your balls!!!

@cathy11986 If you mean easier than a *bike*, then no. Just the opposite.
