quotes Great spelling for a engineer... but seriously people ride smaller wheels because they handle better... Not necessarily on the ground but in the air... Why do you think that BMX riders still ride 20-24 inch wheels? it is because they whip faster. As a engineer you should know that the larger a gyro is the more stable it is. Wheels are giant gyros anyone from 6th grade knows that. There fore a 29inch wheel will be more stable. I think I speak for the majority of the FR/DH community when I say that when you are getting lose, and sending, you don't want your bike to be that stable. You like to be able to throw it around. In theory a 29er will be amazing in a straight line down a trail with slight bumps at moderate speed. (All mountain riding) But in downhill and free ride the trails are all but smooth and all but straight. Go watch Danny Harts world champ run and tell me he could do that on a 29er.... If you can whip a 29inch gyro around a corner with that accuracy and speed either you would have to have arms and abs like the hulk. I have not spent that much time riding 29ers. But from a mathematical standpoint they are only viable in a lighter riding conditions.

quotes I have ridden 29ers before and I have to admit they are a smoother ride. However there is no way I would ride one in a AM/DH/FR type style. I like my bikes to be fast and whip-able. I ride mini DH bikes mostly in bike parks, and in my opinion riding A-Line on a 29 inch bike would not be all that fun. You would scrub every jump whither you want to or not. They are damn near impossible to jump on. If they get rid of 26 inch bikes I will stop MTB and any one who pushes 29ers will never get my sale.
