Is it harder to manual a 29er?
29er’s have tons of bottom bracket drop (like 30+ mm’s). Having your weight so far below the axles is the main reason they are more difficult to manual than a bike with 26″ or 27.5″ wheels. That increased BB drop is also the reason 29er’s can feel so stable in many riding situations.

Should the saddle be higher than the handlebars?
As a general rule of thumb, you want the top of the handlebar about as high (or higher than) the saddle, unless you’re a sporty rider looking to ride fast. Try touching your elbow to the nose of the saddle and reaching forward towards the handlebar with your hand.
