Just be very careful. Since it only is half a 29er and, therefore, only carrying half or less of the usual 29er zen, it is liable to be conflicted and temperamental. Could spit you off at any time or inexplicably veer toward danger.

Its actually stable and fun. Not a temperamental beast at all. Once you get used to the handling, you won't notice you're even riding a 69er!
