there's no denying that 29ers have got their advantages, but that mpora article seems a bit weird.. i don't know where he's riding but for anything properly technical, or even just tight switchback then a 29er is not going to be better/faster.
that niner bloke is full of shite as well.
i do agree that 29ers are great for general off-road stuff though, and if there's any riding on the road involved then they're much better.
