Fisher, among other manufacturers, is solidly behind two-niners. To help promote its line, Fisher opened up a couple of sponsorship spots just for two-niner riders. In 2005, one of those riders, Cameron Chambers of Great Bend, Kansas, rode his Sugar 292 to victory in the NORBA Solo 24-Hour National Championships earlier this year, proving, at the very least, that 29in wheel bikes are competitive with regular 26in machines.

Chambers says his Sugar 292 is a production aluminum frame with “carbon-fiber bits on it”; bits like Bontrager’s high-end carbon stem, handlebar and seat post. On that Race XXX Lite OS carbon bar, he runs SRAM’s X.0 grip shifters, which he only tried for the first time this season. “I’ve had SRAM’s trigger shifters before and I didn’t know how I would like the grip shift,” he says. “I figured I’d race it at the first couple of NORBA’s then go right back to the triggers but I loved it right off the bat. It has such a positive shift, you know. You really pop into gear. I like that a lot.”
