Thanks Nicolaas...
I notice that most 29ers don't have a lot of suspension travel ... I guess that automatically makes them better suited to marathon / endurance events and not to go play with...

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. ________________________________ From: [email protected] on behalf of Donald Klopper Sent: Mon 9/1/2008 5:45 AM To: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DarknDirty] I have to ask: 29ers vs 26" MTB's Any experience on 29ers? Any good / bad opinions? Nice summary; nice links: 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 ...
