Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

One question; how wide are the 29" tires you bought? Most hybrid bikes are expected to use 700x35 or 700x38 tires. If you bought 2" or larger 29" tires (700x50 or more) you are going to have a tough time clearing them with any front derailleur.
