<p>Off topic, but I meant to ask you if you rode a 29 or a 26? How about your hubby? What do you see people riding in Xterra? Hope the hand gets better

Pain on right wrist from riding mtb
I have developped some pain from riding mtb for the last few months. It could be from holding the handle bar too tight, shifting too often, etc. The general location is where thumb meets wrist. Certain moves/angles give me a bad pain. My bike is not a famale specific design and I am guessing the right shifter is too Heavy/far for my small and delicate Hand. <img alt="wink.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"> Tendinitis is my suspect. Any suggestions?

<p>I ride 29er, Specialized Stumpjamper (Hardtail). Love it. David rides 26 (Giant Anthem I Full Suspension) but is wanting to buy 29er. At Xterra, I would say, maybe 1/3 is 29er. It seems higher % ride 29er at MTB races. I have a few friends who are <5'4" and switched recently to 29er, and nobody thinks it is too big. But I know one guy who is like 6' and likes to ride 26 on a certain course (i.e. Ft. Custer). I was riding with David the other day. Of course he was taking it easy for me, riding in front, but I easily caught up with him every time the terrain gets less technical/simple roller. Xterra courses are often less technical than MTB courses and 29er seems to work much better. When will you start joining Xterra races? There are two coming up in IN. I will be at the first one at least. <br>

<p>It won't be this year, but maybe next. I've got a hardtail 26 (Rocky Mountain). It was a nice bike when I bought it 12 years ago, and it hasn't been ridden in 10 years. Plus I upgraded the components on it to XTR back then. I will probably just ride when I'm done with the tri season and see how it goes. <br>
