29er Rear Wheel.
A 29er rear wheel, in most cases, is the same size as the front, 29 inches. These larger wheels can provide a more comfortable ride and are often better suited to rolling over small obstacles. This is one of the reasons that 29er bikes are becoming so popular.
It is important to note that not every 29er rear wheel measures 29 inches. A growing trend is to use a standard 26 inch wheel on the back and a 29 inch wheel on the front. By putting a smaller wheel on the rear of the bike it creates a much more responsive front end, which leads to greater maneuverability.
There are other advantages to using a smaller 29er rear wheel. A 26 inch rear wheel will allow for better acceleration and gearing. They can also allow for greater travel in a rear suspension system.
