26″ has been dead for so long that, while you weren’t looking, 650b became standard and is already on the decline! 29″ is becoming the standard and it’s possible 650b will eventually become only for rear wheels or Plus tires. If 29 becomes the standard over 27.5 I might quit mountain biking. 26 isn’t dead.

On a mountain bike, weight is the enemy. A 29″ bike is heavy compared to a 26″ bike. The 27.5″ platform offers up to 2 pounds of overall weight savings over the 29er. Frame stiffness translates into better acceleration, cornering and overall handling.

You can get 29ers that still feel more playful than many smaller-wheeled bikes – but there are still probably more “fun” 27in bikes overall (if that makes sense?). Stooge is like a big BMX. The 29er FS market has plenty of playful choices too.
How long does it take to learn to wheelie?
Maybe 6 months if you really go at it. If there are turns involved, give yourself a year of very aggressive practice. took me about 2 years to get the wheelie down and learn how to turn while on the back wheel. A larger factor on how far you can wheelie is actually dependent on how strong your grip strength is.
