Bigger wheel will roll better smaller wheel will accelerate faster and turn better. Soo roughly
24" accelerate fast and turn tight but hook up in divots etc
26" accelerate good and turn good rolls over most things
29" slower acceleration but rolls well over obstacles
mixing and matching theoretically will give the best of both worlds. Furinstance the 69ers are 29ers with a 26" rear wheel this lets them turn a bit better without compromising too much the big wheel advantage. I'm rubbish at explaining but hopefully you get what I mean.
