very good, feels like a normal bike until you mess up a tight corner and remember you're on massive wheels. Not bad weight-wise either

So, like a 26 er then but not as good ๐Ÿ˜‰

i had a 20min play on one, i liked it a lot.

it managed to feel normal, and playful, and stable, and lively.

(i know that makes little sense).

and i think they look very handsome.

Had mine a few weeks now, Ive only been back into cycling for around 9 months I bought a Cube Analogue Disc last April I enjoyed that until it got nicked recently. I researched a lot and got loads of advice and went for a 29er, I have noticed a massive difference in the gears I use ie I am always in a higher gear on my normal routes than I would be with my Cube. I havent done any single track yet but hope to later this week at Llandegla so will report back then, I also hope to do the Leeds-Liverpool canal 127miles in late Jan so will report on this thread when I done also.

Thanks for the feedback so far. Thinking of one of thee or maybe a Cube LTD Pro (although they appear to be as rare as rocking horse poo)
