Welcome 2'da dark side!

Go try to ride your skinny little road bike on some trail...then take the MTB out and appreciate what it was designed to do.

Congrats on the new 29'er ... for improved road performance increase the tire pressure to 45-50 PSI maximum, and then remember to drop the pressure by 10-15 lbs for off road.
