Still riding my 26' mtn.bike. But it does seem that only lower end ones will be made in the future. I'm just hoping that decent tires will be cont'd to be made. I do have a spare set of Kenda Nevegals that I took off to mount some Hutchinson Pythons, when I wasn't riding so much loose stuff. Haven't ridden a 29'er yet, but those I've met who now ride 29, say it's quite a bit of difference from 26, in a good way. If I was younger, would probably go to 29, but think my 26 will suffice until I can no longer trail ride, especially since riding more hardpack these days.
