To all of you who say your too small and then get on your road bikes and ride off (on 29 inch wheels) here is a change for you to try one some out, and find you can ride them just as easy as you ride your road bikes.

Ruttland cycles Grafham shop ( about 40 mins drive away ) are doing another open day for 29er on Sunday 29th April.
offering the chance to demo a number of 29er bikes again from brands such as Kona, Scott, Giant, Whyte, Trek & Specialized free of charge.
For more information and updates, please visit the following link www.rutlandcycling.com/29er.

Awesome I'm in

Any particular ones apart from the anthem you would recommend trying?

Are you on commission Barry?

Looks like the link is broken barry...

Sound great though, I'd be interested.

No I have just been give some much advice by poeple in the group on how 29er should perform. by those who have never riden one, I thought it would be good if more people trid one. or people saying they are not tall and cant ride 29ers even if they ride road bikes with 29 inch wheels.

plus the are so much better for Epping than 26er more people should be riding them.

I borrowed the Colonel's 29er once. I really liked it. It made going over stuff much smoother.

Kaff, I agree and I'm a short arse. I rode the Colonel's Niner around Swinley last year. It was a very nice experience and judging by how Bazza has been riding his giant Giant Anthem around the local trails they work really well at home too.

Big wheels keep on turnin.....................

You'll be lucky to get there in 40 minutes!!!

I do it most weekends and have often done it in that sort of time.

Have you tried using second gear or high.

For those undecided I went to the last event and it was great.

Sadly I am going to white hart lane sunday though can't think why at present!

Enjoy

Who's coming then?

Whyte 29er? Won't be a full susser will it?

Price is a bit ouchy, just the frame is $2700, shame, could definitely make space for a carbon hartail

Carbons old school titanium is the way to go now.

I quite fancy this rigid fork, 29er single speed.

Back to basics, like
