I’ve been considering a 29er for my next mountain bike and I’ve been trying to read as much as I can online about others’ experience with the larger wheels. I’ve even test ridden a Cannondale 29er and it felt great but I imagine the 29er works so well for me because I’m tall and I’m not bad at climbing (not to toot my own bike horn 😉 ). But are women trying and buying 29ers? I doubt Mudhunny would be interested since the wheels are as tall as she is but I found at least one woman who seems to be enjoying her 29er.

Eva Grabinski is riding a True North Cycles enduro 29er and has written a couple posts so far. I imagine Eva will be posting more about her experiences, grab her RSS feed and see how things go!
