I raced years ago (kept that one quiet but you are slowly annoying me) . My bike is faster . I don't know what leg strength you have but I weight train everyday . You might be a better off road rider than me and have better skills as I don't race anymore but from a machine point of view then my bike is going to be quicker . In fact if you rode my bike for a day and got used to the difference you would be quicker on it .
Guys are racing and winning on it.

I took 3rd of 9, in the Pro/Open category, on mine, the first time I raced it.
I haven't seen anyone race on your bike in half a decade.

Wait. So my bike, which is probably lighter than the bikes of the winning racers, is not going to be as fast?
Isn't that counter to all that you've been saying?
Or, are you implying that my bike is fast (it's obviously fast enough for them), but I am not fast?

Again I have to repeat myself . I'm not saying 29" is dead or cra* . What I am saying is it isn't popular .Here in the UK not many have adopted the 29" approach simply because they don't like them . Just because the market wants you to ride a set doesn't mean you have to .
The front row of every XCO or XCM race i've seen in the last few years, UK or otherwise, is almost completely populated with wagon wheels. That's both pros riding what they are paid to ride, and elites riding what they can afford. Even when they ride brands with a choice of 3 wheel sizes.
