just gone over 1000km a week ago mate,i have had it 6 months now.The 29er is great for a rider of little skill like myself as it has a bigger contact patch on the ground and great in corners,great rolling and fantastic for climbing....also in the hands of a good rider they are deadly fast.
It really is a good bike that suits my skill level
"my saddle bag is faster,faster than you" lol.......best bit of kit i have got for a while.this is how it was when i pulled it out of China when i got home
I love it too mate.I seriously am faster on DH lines than i was on a DH bike (that is not saying much lol) but the point is that a 29er can do anything.I understand why folks dont like them,they are the folks who have never tried them or just spent thousands on a 26" bike.......
