No, this is dumb. 29rs are fine and have some advantages unless a) you need a really small frame or b) you need long travel out your rear suspension (6 inches or more)
But for the vast majority of people 29rs work great for all kinds of trails. Anybody who says that 29rs are for commuters and casual trail riders doesn't really know what they are talking about.
