Not so convinced about 29ers, for enduro stuff, it makes sense, but lets say, something like the sani2c, endurance race, but lots of tight twisty singletrack, not sure how a 29er will handle stuff like that. Also for rolling over stuff easier...it does make sense, and seems it might make "technical" riding like that easier, but then why don't DH guys have 29er DH bike, surely will make the rock gardens and so on easier.
