26 vs 27.5 vs 29 wheel mtb.

That photo should go in the thread about slammed stems.

Not really, that's manageable with just a stem swap at worst, Emily Batty (1.61m) seems to cope just fine and still look great on a bike!

Emily Batty would look great riding a donkey!!

Oh, wait! That came out wrong!!

She is so gorgeous that she would look great in any circumstance!! Phew! That's better.

26" still popular with touring as it builds a stronger wheel and the odd opinion I've seen is under height of 5'10" then 26" still suits...

[TheRookie]

Height having nothing to do with wheel size at all, that isn't a surprise!

I think she is on a 27,5 nowadays. and her riding position is not that extrem/aggressive.

[TheRookie]

True, but it does highlight that writing off 29ers for people below average height is just daft....

29ers work for shorter folk just fine. If you are 5ft or under that maybe not be true.

29ers are simply quicker, not only is rolling resistance lower but they traverse bumps in the trail much easier. Rigid 26ers are hard work, a rigid 29er is not.
