29er vs. traditional: is guy at bike shop correct??
Hi all, first post.
I'm looking for a mountain bike for the following:
-hit the trails; not interested in time or races, but will hit some real trails; 50%
-biking around town, 50%, mostly local, not far, maybe to my kid's activities in the summer etc...
The bike store guy said to go with a 29er if I am commuting or biking around town a decent amount, traditional mountain bike if I'm more into the trails, intense type rides, times/races, etc...
Is this accurate? Is the 29er the right bike for these purposes?
Thanks.
Benny
