Do you ride a 26er?

I bought a used, charity-sale, all-carbon 2009 26" Scott Spark 30, complete with rear remote lockout, for R6k. It still has an ABSA Cape Epic sticker on it from 2012. I have two 29ers too, they're all fun to ride. The 26er is harder to ride, less forgiving, but its a good teacher. I souped it up through the LBS (Eugene/CycleInn) with new shifters, Racing Ralph tyres, a Lynne dropper, a proper saddle, new front chainrings, new cabling, new pivot bearings and CrankBrothers pedals :P . My bike computer costs more than the bike :nuke:

 

It rawks :D

What's your reasoning behind two computers?

I still have my 26er hard tail - but unfortunately it has been retired to the indoor trainer. I actually still have a PR on a segment at the local bike park which was put up on the 26er. No matter how hard I try I just can't crack it on the 29er dual sus - any advice on how to break it?

I have a Wahoo Bolt/Roam, which handles all but one of my sensors (power+cadence, HRM, muscle O2, etc.). The Wahoo, up until today (!) couldn't handle my Garmin Radar, so I also carried a Garmin Edge 25 as a radar display unit. Wahoo literally just added support for radars now, so I can do my next ride without the Edge 25 :)
