Where can I test ride a 29er off road near North London?
Where can I test ride a 29er off road near North London?
I'm interested in replacing my worn out 26" MTB with a 29er as most off my off road riding is on tracks. However, I'd like to try a 29er off road before purchasing to see if the big wheel thing really makes that much difference. I can't find anywhere to try one out off road within 90mins drive of North London. Can anyone advise?

Dunstable Downs area? North Downs near Box Hill?
South Downs at a very fast stretch.

Thanks for the reply.
I probably did not make myself clear. I don't own a 29er yet but want to test ride, or rent one and ride it off road to see if I like 29ers before purchasing one.

I bet you are all going to shake your heads and laugh at this one . But here goes anyway .
What is a 29er ?
Sorry for such a mundane question . But i've been out of cycling for approx 20yrs and i'm struggling with some terminology at the moment .

700c wheels on a MTB.
The only options I can think of are near Hemel hempstead and in surrey.
Singular don't officially do demo rides, but Sam is a top bloke and might let you have a go, especially if you want to buy a bike or frame off him. His stuff is highly recommended by me. They even do a frame for off roading with drop bars.
