    Anyone ride a 29er?

    I know all frames are diffrent etc….. But

    Whats your height and what size do you ride?

    It will be my first 29er

    I would usually ride a large (so a 19" or 18")

    But im not sure if the size rule of thumb goes out the window when you're talking about a wagon wheeler.

    I've seen an 18" kona unit with a roomy 23.5" top tube but this would equate to a medium in the unit range.

    I tested the same sized kona as you and i normally ride 19.5 trek, the post was at it's limit but it felt ok. The sizing is generally no different with big wheels so if you ride a 19 for 26" then start there for 29" and see how it feels

    I'm 5'11" and usually ride an 18" as well.
    I have a medium/18" Fisher Rig and it feels pretty spot on for me.

    Although I'm intrigued to try a 16" with sus forks as it has a 1degree slacker ht.
