Modern MTBs come in three different rim sizes.
559 mm – 26″ (it’s read: “26 inches”).
584 mm – 27.5″.
622 mm – 29″, or 29er (“twentyniner”).
26″ wheels are the strongest, and the easiest for maneuvering in tight spots, but they are the slowest-rolling.
29″ wheels are the opposite – weakest, but fastest rolling.
27.5″ are in between those two when it comes to pros and cons. With the most limited tire choice in the market (in my experience at least).
