cheesy- they're yours mate. I'll do you a tour of the off piste as well if you fancy it 🙂
lack of tyres, hurry up nobby nic 29ers!
isn't the biggest downer that you need to be above median height or the bike just looks silly and is dangerous to ride?
dmjb4 ...510" and no probs with standover , feel like im in the bike not perched on top .
Tazzy ,off piste , yes please . i`ll bring theswede 8)
cheesy I'll look forward to it. Swede has my email so get him to drop me a line and we'll get sorted.
My 19" steel frame weights just under 5.3/4LB and all though the whole bike only weights 28.5lb it feels a bit sluggish at times.
common sense is trying to stop me from buying this of e-bay, as my mate is off to his sisters in orlando tomorrow and has offered to go and collect it for me.

Has anyone said tight hairpins?

don't be silly, everyone knows that if a 29er leaves a fire road it'll explode in a cloud of cliches and kill the rider, therefore your comment is illogical 😉
So night riding Dalby in the pouring rain last week was a bad idea?
Am I dead already? On second thoughts, don't answer that - if I am I don't want to know.
And does the fact it's rigid make it better or worse?
Makes you want a 69er or a 36er
Am I dead already?
I'm afraid so and this is hell, you must have been a very bad boy! how else do you explain some of the "interesting" characters on here. There's no way TJ SFB, or Elfinsafety would exist in the real world. They are all the lord of darkness's little imps sent to torment the doomed souls on Satan'strack.
Is it not common knowledge that certain people get 29ers for much the same reason that less generously endowed men get larger than neccesary cars?
i am just in the process of having a reduction op then........... 😉

Bit like riding your dads bike when you were 9'

It takes longer to pump up the tyres on a 29er. (I make up the time by coasting away from my 26" friends on the descents.)

Having to tell your parents you're gay.
........'said the tight lycra clad carbon weight weenie limp wristed couscous eating roadie wufter'. 😆
The biggest problem is what to do with all the expensive 26ers lying unused in the shed.
Can always lend them out to midgets, I suppose 🙂
The front wheel trying to tuck under in really tight singletrack.... otherwise mine is perfect.

asking why you ride a 29er
there, fixed it for you...
about 25% more expensive than an identically specced 26"
well the wheels are pretty much 25% bigger, so that's about fair isn't it 😉
Clowns keeps asking for it back.
No frustrations. My 29er does exactly what I expect it to do. Its just a bike after all.
Forks seem more expensive and the lbs has to order stuff in specially for me because I choose bigger wheels.
On the trail there is no frustration other than I am even less good at wheelies on the 29er than I was with smaller wheels.
29er all the way for me now.
(other size wheels are available for midgets and people with questionable taste!)
I sat on a 29er just the once ? and the alltitude made my nose bleed. They do seem to roll over stuff well but I aint tall enough to run one.
My biggest frustration is that other 29er riders seem to think that you're some part of some elite/niche group because you ride such a machine.It's just a ****in' bike with big wheels ffs.Lot of SSers are the same too.....Again,just a bike !
My biggest frustration is that other [s]29er[/s] mountain bike riders seem to think that you're some part of some elite/niche group because you ride such a machine.
just because you ride a mountain bike doesn't mean I like you or we have to be friends 🙂
Fair point tbh,a lot of mtbers are total pr!cks..... 😆
it's true - i am.
