The one thing I struggled with when I first got my Stooge (first 29er I’d ever ridden) was having to put more weight over the bars when cornering compared to my 26″ Soul.
Or I’d find the front end wouldn’t respond as well my Soul, but because of the extra grip I had, I could really lean my Stooge into the corners. It essentially felt like I had to over accentuate the turn. Also watching some YouTube videos on cornering helped, I knew about the outside pedal down when cornering but didn’t know you also had to push down on your inside hand. All good now though, I’m as average as ever.
