29er Wheels

I got my new 29 inch tires today. I put them on my planned sacrificial road rim, everything seemed to fit OK. The rim doesn't look so narrow, I don't think it will be an issue. So, the next step is to figure out what length spokes I need and start building up the wheel on the mountain hub.

Just a quick comparison of the 29 inch combo to the 26 inch combo... I like the look of that big wheel and tire.
