I've been seriously mtbing for just over a month now and I currently own 2 bikes. One is a 29er HT and the other is a 26er. Just got done riding today on a trail that I rode for the first time last weekend that has a 7 mile main loop. I wasn't able to complete it today. The trail is designed to be an intermediate trail and has what too me would be some tough climbs with switchbacks. Followed by some winding downhill with berms, dips, log jams and drops in between.
My question is this. What could be making me bonk so fast on the 26er? I was thinking that the 29er would be harder to pedal than a 26er in the same gear.
Could it be that the 29er is harder to accelerate but easier to keep momentum up?
Could there be something wrong with the 26er?
Or is it just me? I know I need more work, I'm about 265# and I lost about 10 in the last 3 weeks.
