 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Ok so I've been away from the bike for a few years now. Last time I rode singlespeeds were the new big thing, and 29ers were JUST arriving on the scene. Now I am shopping for a bike to replace the rusted mess in the cellar and everything is 27.5? What happened
I suppose the serious question is which direction is this headed? I know it may seem old school but I'm reluctant to move away from 26", so any insight/opinion is welcome
Cheers guys
Your kidding, right ?
29ers are super lame and 650b brings the trail alive.
Done.
Test some bikes. Buy the one you like the most. Ride it. Only pay attention to the wheel size when you need to buy spare tubes/new tyres. Done.
It just like motocross riders swapping wheels to meeting conditions and personal preference......... except everyone's rrreeeeeaaaaallllllyyyy anal about it
try search and delete your post....
28.25" is the future
Every time someone starts a wheel size thread, a kitten dies.
Kittens must now be an endangered species...
don't ask on here, this is a roadie forum now.
ive never liked cats

Always brings a smile to my face. 🙂
oh dear - is this the new 'what tyres for' question?
(yes it is that long since I've been here)
No. Just another 'what size tyres?' question.

Ignorance is bliss...
pay no attention to all the waffle and angst that chucking a 3rd "Standard" at us has caused, just go try a few different bikes if you can, if you find you get on better with a particular 29er, 27.5er or a 26er then buy that and then stop looking at bicycle forums again for another few years...
^^^ That'll do me - See you all in 2016:)
2016......When 26" is the new 27.5"
Waht is this wheel standard you're all mucking about?
round
Or just get a fat bike - 26" rims but the tyre is so huge its about the same diamater as a 29er 😀
See you all in 2016:)
Right, we've got two years, we'll Crack on with this little lot:
