I'm 6'1 glad i look fine on a 27.5 😂 lighter too
The chainstays being shorter and the hub of the back wheel being closer to the bottom bracket would make a difference I would imagine. Think about it guys (Phu voice) .... if the bottom bracket is further back than the rear wheel hub then you'd loop out because of the center of gravity.
Bought this bike two months ago. At first it felt kinda heavy for wheelies but once you get it up is really smooth

I've had one for a while and could never get the wheelie up, ive been looking all over and its nice to know that it's possible. I will definitely practice alot more to do wheelies soon
Y’all awesome. Always entertaining
I could Not wheelie before I bought my first big ripper in like 2017 so the 29” did help me learn but now I prefer a 26” blocks Flyer although it is smaller it’s all about brake control like Ethan said and also how max said the 26” is twitchier so easier to pull up and keep up and swerve

I thought I’d need a bigger bike for long wheelies but then I got some wheelie pegs on the back of my 20 inch bmx and went for it and realized that i agree with you,It does not matter! My bike came straight up with a pedal and was able to keep it up by tapping the back brake just like any other bike I’ve seen wheelie. Idk how it feels to wheelie on a bigger bike but I’d imagine it’s pretty similar
25t front 9t rear for a 20” with a 2.40 front 2.25 rear
Full suspension enduro! I can only wheelie on my wife’s bike. It’s an Ibis mojo hd5 27.5, size medium. I normally ride a large.
When I worked in a shop, I would jump on anything from our little 12-inch kids bikes up to our 29ers and wheelie around the store. Wheel size doesn't matter, but there are aspects of a setup that can make it "easier" to pop up and maintain the wheelie.

What a legend !
I have a question to anyone who has this bike, are the brakes good because I’m looking to get one I’m used to disc brakes and I’m wondering if these are just as good
Wich brand is better subrosa or cult? Let's say they where both 25"
Somehow the knees helped im always like grabbing the seat while wheeling
what about air pressure. does that come into play on the bigger bikes.

Great fun video but that Corolla tho 👍👍
What bike is the 26”?
Can this bike be converted into a Fixed gear/track bike?
personaly with me the smoother the wheel is the easier it is to wheelie
The KE70 corolla 🤩
Does time move slow at the “epic bmx” shop?🤔
I just got. A big ripper 29 and I can’t get the front wheel up yet hahaha. Not yet.
Where is your shop? I d love to come by sometime
Wheelies on a mountain bike or bigger frame and wheels is smoother and easier, no doubt. Not to mention the sitting position. Doing this standing on a BMX with a slammed seat is not going to be as easy as sitting on a bigger more stable steed
I got a flat tire went to bike shop .he replaced it then a couple hours my innertube just blow off, two times tried to fix it but still tube was exploded it again, my tire is 20*2.4 , what do you think what is the cause?, thanks
@rahjonsouthall9869

Tube volume capacity not enough. Make sure they go up to 20x2.4
the percentage of each tire would be exactly the same in regards to diameter but if the widths vary then it would change tire to tire

29 inch was smooth compared guys. Easy to see. Like Ethan sad brake control most of all. 100%. No brakes use your foot plebs. Haha
It went together easily in less than an hour. kzread.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
26in is perfect for me 😂

Bike size is personal preference . If a 29 was easier then Kurt Osburn would have used one on his world record wheelie from California to Florida . At any rate this was fun to watch . Kurt Osburns wheelie link ...kzread.info/dash/bejne/YplkvNmefcfTn5c.html
