They are heavy but like it’s said above, more of a workout. Get special offers, exclusive product news, and event info straight to your inbox. FWIW I’d concentrate on the skills before you decide to pay them bills.
Just to add – the wheel size isn’t important but the frame size is. If you’re feeling a bit stretched out on the Raleigh it could be that the frame to too big for you. Eg I’m 1.66m and ride a medium 29, but I can also ride a small depending on the frame geometry.
Get some hoopty riser handlebars. Just gives you a better workout. I have a 7 speed Shimano thumb shifter and aluminum mountain bike pedals on the way.
You’ll be dropping the BB by about 20mm or so, but that’s not a train smash unless you’re already grazing rocks with your cranks & chainring. It’ll also reduce the inertia on the rear, as long as you’re not going heavier with the back wheel. That will make the rear more “lively” by virtue of it being easier to change direction, but not by much. Another by-product of that is that you’ll be able to lift the front more easily as it’ll have slackened out the HA by dropping the rear axle relative to the front axle. The huge SE handlebars are sweet.
