I'm a big guy, and it seems logical that I should have bigger wheels than my 12 year old son who now has a small conventional full-size MTB with 26 inch wheels. However, I am concerned about a loss of manoeuvrability, both in town and country. Bigger things, in nature and in engineering, tend to take longer to turn corners.</p> <p>Any experiences to share?</p> <p>Sorry if there have been previous treads on this, I did have a good search round and couldn't find anything. </p>
