29er vs 26" Hardtail

[trailblazin']

It's all good information to take in, thanks guys. I've been riding a 29er the last few weeks and I do like it. I know I'm gonna cut down my handlebars a little. Wouldn't mind trying a shorter stem either. Plus the more ride I the better I get. I know trying out different bikes is also a good idea. So I'll be at the Giant demo that Bike n Hike is putting on in a few weeks.

Let me know if you need any help cutting your handlebars. I have a pipecutter just for that task

@Vibrato: Took your advice and got a shorter stem. Went from 110mm 25° to 70mm 25° and wow what a difference. The bike handles so much differently. It's far more responsive to steering input.
