Recently I saw a bike at a store that had either 28 or 29 inch wheels.
I think it was a Fugi. I also noticed that KHS sells a bike with large
wheels. What is the advantage of large wheels? Right now I ride a 26
inch bike and put on about 5500 miles a year. I have problems with my
drive train wearing out after about 18 months ( I tried various
suggestions), and recently I have had a number of broken spokes. I do
not go off road, but I do most of my grocery shopping with my bike,
and there are a lot of hills in my area. Would a larger wheels size
such as 28 or 29 work better? I would think buying tubes and tires
would be a pain, but would the back wheels provide more support, and
would the fewer times its goes around reduce the amount of pedaling?
Thanks
Tom
