I made the conversion from a 26" to a 29" a little over a year ago. I have no problem with either one. With that being said, I like some of the advantages to both. I can definitely roll over more things on the 29er. This gives me some extra confidence at times. However, it is not as quick in turns and as the bike currently sits, the bars are very wide. This bothers me on narrow trails because there are times when I am not so sure that I am going to fit between trees. I have also hit more trees with my grips than in the past. This weekend, I do plan on cutting a little off of each side of my handlebars. I still have my old faithful 26er but I find that my 29er is now my go to mtb
