If an old fat dood like me can run a decent speed on a rigid w a Larry up front, an Endomorph on the back and flat pedals, then at some point all the hoopla over inconsequintial gear needs to receive the importance it deserves. Zero.
Find a bike that feels right and RIDE IT!!
Although really Chevy's do suck... Government Motors...
Honestly, this one of the reasons I didn't renew any of my mountain bike magazines. I'm sick of hearing about the tire size controversy. I've raced a 29er hardtail this weekend and it was great, but I doubt I was going to see any difference in time if I had ridden my 26er hardtail other than maybe because I am more familiar with it. My next race bike will be a 29er for sure, but I don't feel like I'm being held back by riding a 26 in the meantime.
