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.

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

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.

It went together easily in less than an hour. kzfaq.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.
