Ahh some things will never change, eh? People who don“t like 29ers (and probably haven't even tried one in their size and correct setup) seem to feel an uncontrollable urge to diss the big wheels. I ride a 26" DH bike and a 29er XC bike, and feel more than excited about the prospect of trying a DH 29er. Props to Intense for keeping their minds open, unlike some people here.
