Bike Mob Posted February 25, 2010 Share I am currently riding a 26er Carbon Hardtail and am considering an upgrade... I used to have a Giant Anthem, Trance and Reign so have had my share of dual sus bikes. I went HT for the efficiency climbing. I am now looking into getting a dual sus again, looking at the Carbon Epic. but lately I have had strange urges towards 29er bikes. just as effecient as the hard tail but more forgiving without sacrificing speed... so I'm told. I haven't ridden a 29er...but would like your thoughts on the matter to help me decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTi Posted February 25, 2010 Share First of all hardtails aren't as effecient as a decent FS on a climb that isn't tar. How tall are you before you start looking at 29'ers? I know some say anyone can ride a 29'er but I'm not a believer in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
