he doesnt like how it feels to be up as high as on a 29er not so much a bike fit issue. I am aware of bike fit. some people say when they try a 29 over a 27 they feel like they are sitting up high and it makes them uncomfortable. its mainly a preference thing than fit for him. I rode 26 before I got a 29 and I like the feel of the larger wheel over the smaller.
