Just bought a used ragley blue pig, not enjoying the ride :( It has a29'' rim on the front and a 27.5'' on the rear, would that affect the ride very much and if so how?

    Not a hell of a lot.

    It's a rough tough frame, and quite harsh.

    Last I rode was 26er though.

    What was yours designed for?

    In what way are you not enjoying the ride?

    What sort of riding are you doing? The BP is designed for fairly aggressive riding, the piglet is their more all round usage frame.

    You have two different size wheels, both the wrong size for the bike. Of course it's going to ride like a sack of crap

    Eh?

    They can't be 26", 27.5" and 29".

    What does it say on the sidewall of your tyres?

    I think he means rim width.
