I can't beleive there is so much ignorance when it comes to 29'ers. The comments I have read are total bullshit based on rumours and myths long ago proven wrong. I am a dedicated SS 29'er racer and let me clear the record for you children. 29ers handle as well as any other bike out there, no matter wheel size and if you doubt the benefits of the rolling speed just coast next to a 29er rider and see who has to pedal first. Its not the wheel size that determines how well a bike performs its the rider! If you don't have good skill you will ride like shit no matter what bike your on. Perhaps its time some of you grow up and stop hating?
