I can't make my mind up about 29ers. It seems like a good idea for cross country type stuff but it the availability of parts and the big mark up on 29er parts vs 26" that puts me off.
I know you can always order over the internet but it's nice to beable to walk into a shop and grab stuff / take a look especially if your on holiday or a long ride and you just need to buy something while out. I can imagine being in the middle of France and having to make do with a 32 mm touring tyre to get you home or if you badly bend a wheel ending up totally screwed.
