I don’t think the wheel size matters, except for an ability to clear small bumps
better on a bigger wheel. But the bigger wheel will also weigh more, making it
more work to keep the thing under you. My experience is on a 24" wheel, but no
much on bigger or smaller ones.

This makes the big difference. The lower you go, the easier a time you
should have.

Last night I built a 20" BC wheel. I did not jump on it as I did not want to
die ( Iam still recovering from ankle damage from a rock climbing incident).

I had a thought.

Would it be easier to ride a BC wheel if…

  1. the wheel were quite large - 26" and
    2)if the pegs were way below the axle.
