Appreciate Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Marnaavid Unexplainable Intervention (do a search on google)? It is a great one of a kind product for learning how to hack your flow state minus the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my old buddy Taylor at last got excellent success with it.
I vote for 26": (same wheel in 26 compared to 29") les wheel mass=lower inertia=better acceleration, better handling. Way more rigid for the given weight. The speed of 29er can ve achieved with TRANSMISION relations...so I don't see the point of 29". Pure marketing
