I've been looking around and haven't found answer but do you think you can put skyway tuff wheels on that frame? I wasn't sure because of the disc brakes and those wheels not being perfectly true. @@thebikefam
I am not familiar with Skyways in 29.... I think Crew makes some, and I *think* they have mounting for disc rotor... Thats all I can say, hope it helps.
Tires, brake pads, slime tubes would be my first things…. And make sure everything is adjusted just right or swing by a bike shop. That can make a huge difference.
It’s tough. That’s why I keep trying to get a video done about it so I can talk about it more. The 26 seems to be a great bike if you’re only going to have one. It feels the most stable, and makes me want to ride through the neighbors flower bed and tear it up. But any amount of distance over maybe 5 miles, for me the 29 is the winner. Even more so if you’re going to ride with other guys and want to keep a similar cadence as most seem to have a 29. A friend of mine who is about your height, swears that the 26 is the best. I think you probably would like that best, but let me know what you decide.
I’m going to do a compare between 29, 26, 24…. We’ve got all three. The longer the distance you plan to ride, the large of the wheel I would say. 26 inches starting to feel like a perfect size, and 24 is great so long as I’m not riding very far. It’s a tough one, but if he’s going to ride with friends, 29 is what the kids are going to mostly have. That seems to be what all the kids want in my sons’s circle of friends. Even if I think it’s a little too big for some of them.
