Everbody should rider 29r

It's only going to get worse. Most new riders don't buy 26" bikes. I have a lot of contact with people who have been riding less than a year and 80% are on bigger wheels. I don't care for them, but if I bought one, I would run a falt or inverted bar. (I'm 6'1") If you want normal height bars and a 29" wheel, that's what you need.

Best thing about 29ers is that they are keeping 26ers cheap as they arent so cool anymore...
