Congratulations! That's certainly a big jump going from 26" to 29" isn't it? What's the stem length and how much travel on the fork? Why aren't you sold on the 1X?
As someone who also went directly from 26" to 29" I share your initial misgivings; I feel like I'm riding a monster truck sometimes. I can understand why trail riders prefer wider tires, dropper posts and going tubeless.
