Just wondering, has anyone here not had a go on a 29er ? I'm sure the company I keep may have something to do with 29" wheels appearing more 'normal' than 26" wheels to me these days.

When I look at new bike press release pictures/fresh goods friday/etc. I find myself thinking nice bike, but why stick with the small wheels.

I've not spent longer than 30mins on one.

A) I cant afford another bike.
B) I really like the bike I have.

Plus, 26er frames have a large main triangle to fit luggage into

I haven't :) But .....

Not yet

I'm a recent convert thanks to those who will remain nameless but they are generally the devilish, smelly gilled, Bb200 gladiatorial influencers of this forum

Saying that my Swift is now my bike of choice for 90% of my riding at the moment

Still not 100% convinced - now I've played with bar height, suspension it is certainly better but it doesn't feel quite right
