Alot of 29 talk is going around and i must say i love my bike. 29 took a couple weeks for my body and reflexes to adjust to but at this point i'm so amazed that I'm just flat out pissed off. All the years of industry BS, gizmos and constant changes and all they ever had to do was CHANGE THE FRICKIN WHEEL SIZE!! Can we band together and sue the entire cycling industry for crimes against humanity?? I been sliding down the scale for years from moto to DH to XC and now I have a bike that feels like a KX250 although I'm the only engine.Everyday someone else gets a new 29 and gets to go on a group ride w/ they're old buds on 26 and learns what it really means to shoot fish in a barrel.Anyway, I'm reborn and overjoyed but still think that some moron industry designer/marketer owes me like 15 yrs of happiness.Anybody into pro bono work??
