I ride a 29er now and again. It's a Perforance Access XCL 9r, and it is a fun ride on road, and nice on the mild trails I ride. I could likely swap in a rigid fork, honestly, and keep it locked out when on pavement. I'm 6'1", formerly 378 pounds. Currently 263. I guess I use this bike more as a hybrid, than MTB. And I do have a couple road bikes.
I will say, at my heaviest, I quit riding. I felt so top heavy I was afraid I'd fall over no matter what bike I was on. I've been riding again from 320 down...
