[Closed] Are 29ers worse on slow climbs?

Perversely I use higher gears on the big bike almost never using the small chainring.
on my old 26er RM I got a 22/36 11-32 drive chain, found I was dropping to the granny [i]a lot[/i] when climbing due to the 36t "big" ring (normally run a 22/32 chainset). Swapped all that over to my 29er frame when I got it and... I hardly ever drop into the granny despite the gearing being higher due to the wheels. Dunno why this is.
