Potentially 🙂
Got a Ti 29er and a 134 Process , if I sold the 29er and replaced it with a long travel (140mm) steel hardtail like the new P7 would that be too close to the Process ? Would probably need to add money so don't want to balls up !

In my opinion a lightish 29er hardtail and a bigger travel full sus are the ideal combination of mountain bikes - YMMV

What is the Ti 29er not delivering? Can changing some components get it 'right'? Longer fork, wider bars etc?

A P7 won't feel anything like your 134, IMHO. Riding a hardtail will always be different to a FS bike even if the forks are the same.

The 29er is a perfect mile munching machine but I'm wondering if I'd rather have something longer , slacker for mucking about on . Then again I've still got my 26" Hummer with 120mm travel so maybe I have got all bases covered ? 29er has 100mmnRebas think it'll take a 120mm but not sure if that will make that much difference ?

Oh and I put wider bars on recently , that seemed to change things for the better , probably taking it to the Quantocks tomorrow to re bond !

I think you can over think things sometimes.... Sounds like you've got all the bases covered already. What about a fatbike though...?
