Hey I am relatively new to the hole biking field I have only been doing it about six months, and the bike I have isn't really enough to do what I want to do. I have a 26'' Gary fisher hard tail made back in '03. I love that bike and it hauls decent. However the trails that I ride in the area are a little to rough for this bike. I would like to find a fully spring 29er with a 50+ lb cargo capacity. Help, ideas or advice would be great and I don't know a lot of the lingo either, so please speak in small words.

This search should give you plenty to chew on!

I do think for bikepacking and reliability that a 29er hardtail is the way to go. However if you have really nasty terrain then you might consider a simple reliable FS bike. A Santa Cruz Superlight 29er?

Good luck!
