Whilst I have been bromptoning over the last couple of years to get to work, not done any mountain biking since 1996 - which is quite a long time..
Looking to get back into mountain biking and looking at the kit these days stuff has really move on, lots of suspension that works, disc brake etc etc something else that is alos apparent is there is a new wheel size known by the moniker '29er'. This wheel size is effectively the road 700c size but wth a big fat knobbly mountain bike tyre fitted giving an overall dia if 29" or so. Supposed to be lots of reasons why these size is better than the standard 26", but for me the best bit is that if you are tall and need a gate zized frame 29er wheels look more in proportion.
Planning to go to the Bike Show @ Earls Court to meet up with my sister and stepdad you are coming down to the show - hoping that there will be some of these 29er bikes their.
