To all you 29er's out there!

I nearly went for one of those.....the fact that it can't be run with a bouncy fork stopped me....
On another note, I bought a "joes no flats" kit, and I can't get the fucking front tyre to seat.....the rear eventually popped on, but the front refuses. It seems that the valve on the rim strip is sitting a bit high, not allowing the tyre to seat....I'm using a big fucking compressor too, the fire engine one, and it still refuses. I've tried fairy liquid water, to no avail......

can you ease the tyre down around the valve and then hang the wheel from something so that the tyre is not in contact with anything? Maybe put it back in the forks? That's how I do mine, it allows the tyre to inflate and seal more quickly.
