Oh, sounds like you’ll have a ton of fun on a new 26″ FS bike. They all (almost) ride so well now-a-days. I have owned 7 different 29′ers and then made a discovery as to the difference in comfort during long rides/races. Since then, I have been solely riding FS 26″ bikes the last few years. Of course, having said that, there may be a 29er HT coming in to the stable for 2010…but only as a part time mount. I enjoy your blog. Keep up the epic-ness.

Stay with the 29er. It looks good with the beard.

I have been drooling over 29ers for a couple of years, but haven’t made the leap just yet… and now I am at the point where if I buy another bike – my wife is going to crucify me – regardless of the size of wheels!

I no longer own a 26″ wheeled bike and have rode, a HT, ST, and FS 29ers for the past couple years. Having said that, I am seriously thinking about staying with a HT 29er and moving to a FS 26″. I love my 29ers, but in tight switchbacky stuff, with a lot of starts/stops the 26″ wheeled bikes just perform a bit better. Either way, a ride is a ride even if you’re on a Huffy.

Have you looked at the 2010 Gary Fisher Hi-Fi’s? It appears that Gary Fisher has scaled back and is only making 29 inch race bikes, but not so much 26 inch. That is my assumption anyway when looking at the website. I guess though you don’t have to ride a Fisher. You could do a Trek or something else.

The most important is that you keep riding your bikes. Have fun.
