The 29er has more traction, seems to be a lot harder to fall off of. Rode a 26er full suspension for a year before I got the 29 ht. Short steep hills I could not make on the 26er I was shocked when I went right up on the 29er. Tight twisties take some getting used to. When I first went to the 29er I loved it but wished I had gotton full suspension, my legs got tired from having to stand up so much. Now that my legs have gotten stronger and used to standing up more I am happy with the HT.

My 26" is a hardtail, I guess I'm used to it, not that I have that much experience. I don't particularly like twisty trails, that seems too hard core for me. But I absolutely love the miles and miles of dirt roads in neighboring counties and all the unexplored possibilities.The more I think about it, I'm going to have to figure out a way to have more storage space to keep all my bikes without selling some off to get new ones. I'm up to 3 as it is. I'll be on that Hoarders show with all my bikes someday!
