I'm not a "route" kinda person. Just get something you like that suits what you like to ride.

If I had no bike at the moment, I'd certainly be test riding a 29er and comparing times and fun factor with a similar 26er before buying something.

Too big for me. 26" wheel is better.

Id look at them first for almost all kinds of riding except dh - lack of tire choice !
But i wouldnt rule out 29ers but after having had 2 29ers ibpve been disapointed wi my 26ers since !

If I could get the verity of 26" wheeled bikes with 29er wheels at the cost of a 26er bike I would only own 29ers.

If I grow a bit taller I will buy a 29er.. but I think I stopped growing about 35 years ago

Have four 26s at present.
Lack of compatibility of various components is one issue putting me off.
If I were starting from scrtch I would try a 29er, just to see if i liked it. I don't want a mix, the MTB/road mixtyre is enough to contend withPosted 4 months ago # -
That would depend on how switched on the place I bought the bike from were to the whole 29er thing.
A lot of lbs's are only just getting them in and talking to customers about them.
It's unlikely people would discover places like this prior to buying a bike. Most are guided by shops & friends for advice so that would be a contributing factor.
