Tape is usually 10m, which makes for approx 4x29” wheels if you only do 1 turn. I usually do 2 turns do one roll of take makes me 1 set of wheels with some spare.
 
Took a friend to HM today and he had a Motobecane Fantom 29er.
I got on it for a couple of sec... That shit was scary AF! Is that considered a mtb?

Looked online... it has a 72 degrees head tube angle.
Not to mention... reach was really short.
Tires skinny AF too at 2.1 ... looked smaller TBH
Bars pretty narrow too... under 700 I would guess

They should really call stuff like that a hybrid. The term mountain bike is kind of meaningless since you shouldn't ride trails on some thing like that

Oops... typo... head tube angle is 70 degrees
But there is no way I would want to ride that thing down a trail with any roots or rocks
