Night ride tonight, just outside of Brighton on my new Kona unit geared 29er!
Well,slow corners and bog fest conditions do make 29er'ing somewhat different to 26, especially at slow speeds 😯
Picks of speed faster and rolls faster with less effort than those on a 26er and is noticeable, bike is fitted with carbon rigid forks, not quite the 5" revelations that I normally ride ❓
Quick downhill, dodge in stodge and corners but first ride and it will come
Overall, a great build, great bike-different but great
If you are thinking 29er, give it a punt, its great fun and something a little different if you go rigid 29
Brill 🙄

They are great and IMO can be just as quick on the singletrack as a 26" bike with just a few minor changes to riding style.

Will be nice to see another 29er riding Stanmer 😀
