26er or 29er

I'd say try the 29er, I love mine and for general XC and trail duties they work really well. If you don't like it they are pretty hot at the moment so you wouldn't loose much ££ if you decided to go back to 26". You could try to get a test ride but I reckon it takes a bit of time to learn what they can do.

I'm glad I didn't listen to Tintin when he gave advice on my 29er thread, because if I had I wouldn't have a 29er now.
And I love it.

Kaiser makes a very strong case. I think he might know what he is talking about.

If you're considering full squidger then I'd stick to 26, but for general use a front squidge 29 comes into its own.
Just remember its not all plain sailing - slower to accelerate, like-for-like the wheels are more flexi, greater surface are to clag with mud in poor conditions, heavier. They bring a lot of downsides but for general trail use on moderate conditions or better they can be a good grin.
