I love mine...I ride an Ellsworth Evolve (29er) and several 26ers. I use the 29er for longer rides...It rolls a little better over rocks and and ruts and I tend to have better endurance for distance rides on it. I use my 26ers for more technical rides...I have more travel on the 26ers and finds that it can turn a little tighter.

Any good / bad opinions? Nice summary; nice links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/29er_(bicycle) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/29er_(bicycle)> I'm quite surprised that there's a lot of recommendation to ride them from around 5'5" and taller; I thought only the 6'5" crowd would really benefit... Personally I won't go for it just yet (still have a couple of GT 26" frames left to brake... I mean RIDE) but I have a tall, strong buddy (recent ex A-bunch roadie) looking a new bike; needing (in my opinion!) confidence downhill and single track. Gordon: Any experience?? The dude's even taller than you ...
