From what I understand, it depends. If you are rocking lots of watts, a bigger wheel is essentially higher gearing, so more force on the drivetrain if you’re using lots of boost. I’m new to this though, and mostly going for a decent shuttle/approach/town run kind of bike. No singletrack plans.
I’d probably avoid 29’s if I had a choice. However, I’m building one on my old 9er, so we’ll see!
