Patrick, as in all bikes, geometry is a big factor is ride quality, manuverability, and quickness. 29ers are no exception. By accident I ended up with a steep head angle and long rake fork on my 1st 29er. I felt that it handled just as quick as any of the 10+ 26ers I've rode since the early '80's and the rolling and downhill terrain gains I experienced made it any easy switch. Other 29ers I've ridden with slightly slacker HA's and shorter rake forks feel slow and too long. Of course terrain is a big driver. Here in California we have more open riding terain so a 29er seems more suitable. ~mike
