29'er conversion

So I decided to convert the Red Couch from a 26 inch mtb to a 29 inch wheel and try it out. I took the suspension fork off and install a carbon legged rigid fork. Then pulled the 26 wheels of and mounted up the 29'ers.
Checked the bottom bracket height and It comes in at 13 1/4 a little high but good pedal clearance.
How does it ride? Well geometry worked out fine and steering was just right. Went with a 34 X 21 gear ratio and was able to climb everything on the ride today.
Another fun day on a couch.
