Just wondering the ratio between the 26/29 saga within this SWAMPer Community.

I had a single speed hardtail 29er for a couple years that was awesome at Morris Bridge/Trout Creek. Since riding Boyette/Alafia more I sold the 29er and switched back to a full suspension 26" geared.

29er for life. My first 29er was crappy and weak. But the one I have now has a 26er feel with 29er speed.
