I just cant get on with 26 inch wheeled bikes. I bougt a shockwave from Halfords at Christmas but it just feels so sluggish and hard to accelerate compared to my 29er.
The 80mm of suspension seems almost rigid and the bike is so heavy compared to what I am used to. If that was’t bad enough it turns corners like a barge; although maybe its just the tyres.
I think I’m going to sell it as 26 inch wheeled bikes just dont seem to suit me and I’ll make sure I share my brief and unfavourable experience every time 26er thread pops up on STW.
:roll: :wink:
