Cyclocross is my thing, but have been tempted to do some MTB racing as prep for the cross season. Got a steel hard tail which is nice for general training but would want something competitive for racing. I'm not kidding myself as I finish in the 30 to 40's in a cross race out of 110 riders so kind of expect the same in a MTB race but want to be as competitive as I can. So, I am tall (6-4), and everyone is saying that 29ers are the way to go for racing and are better for taller riders. A carbon 29er would be right then? Focus/Canyon look good for the money...
