That is f*in stupid. The efficiencies are for people of different sizes. I'm 6'4", I should be on a 29'er. She's 5' and should be on a 26". Hell she might be small enough for a 24".

Nice of Niner to put out a your bike doesn't fit indicator.
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.Everbody should rider 29r
Best thing about 29ers is that they are keeping 26ers cheap as they arent so cool anymore...It's only going to get worse. Most new riders don't buy 26" bikes.

What about the dumbbars?Been there, done that. R.I.P. Dumbcat.
Bought my Kona Unit. They once had a 26 and 29 version, now it is just 29. I'm ok with it at 6'1".i see where theyre going with it. on my niner i run a flat bar and inverted stem. also i want to say the vast majority of sub 1000 dollar bikes we sell at the shop are 9ers.
What are you getting at? I actually run a flat bar and a dropped stem on my DH bike, but its... a bit odd fit wise.
