HAhaha...ok ok ...Im not one to diss other trails ...all im saying if you want a more smooth XC trail  ie Rover, RRI etc...you can go there...but dont damage the natural trails ...period...kiara or no kiara
So what if everyone is using 29er...so far theres more 26er around ..so it ll still be there ...

Think about it ...at the first UCI WC XC race this year was won by Nino Schurter using 27.5 ...how? LAter they start selling 27.5 whats going to happen with the 29er....

I think its best you do your research ..and most importantly ..be very very very clear of what you want...where you frequently ride ...what you want to achieve with the bike ...

The problem is ...some riders are not clear of this...especially the last one...they want the bike to do everything ...you want an XC bike that can do downhill ...you want 29er because everyone else having it or every shop is selling it ...etc etc

If you re not clear of what you want and get influence by others ...there s a good chance you end up with a bike you dont like ...

A season rider told me ...29er needs getting used to ...for sudden burst on technical climbs ..its not so easy ...you ll need the legs and endurance to use it ...

Its like a Land Rover ...big wheels ..very easy to get pass obstacles ...but youll need a particular engine to run it ..it uses more energy to power through ...
