yeah - different for everyone - but i do a fair amount of miles and and been riding 29ers for many moons - i find it mad that i still have a 26er but for my gangly legs small wheels have always been a bit daft. the 26er is only in that mode when it runs the longer sub forks and 69er when rigid -
steve did very well on the gorrick series singlespeed 29er against your normal geared types

i would go so far as to say the majority of riders over 6 foot will be overall faster on bigger wheels on any terrain bar DH
