Suddenly seems like a nice easy topic doesn't it?
Anyway, I've never ridden a 29er, a Fatbike or any sort of Plus bike - only 26" and 27.5" and as the 27.5 was a newer, higher spec bike than all my 26ers I've assumed that by default it's the better wheel size and as its my current wheelsize it's better than all the ones that I haven't tried.
Yeah and carbon is waste of time, boost is a cone and metric shocks are the work of the devil who wants to kill Fox, but only after he's made our bikes obsolete and unrideable.
My 29r is faster than your 28.4r but the trails don't come alive as much.
It's yellow which is appropriate to my bravery level.
My 26r rolls better than my super fast carbon kit. (by kit I mean solid block of and by carbon I mean pig iron).
Your wheel size choice is wrong and a juvenile buzzard can peck the threads from their white sidewalls.
Now go and put your helmet on or I'll get irrationally cross.
When the shops only sell 27.5" bikes so you are forced to get one you will look back fondly at your days riding a 26" one before you were forced to leave [it]... 😉
Debating wheel size is exactly like debating Brexit. There's no definitive answer, whatever the outcome, about 50% of the debaters will be unhappy. And like Brexit, it's a mute point point at this stage.
Now we're no longer part of the EU we will ditch metric measures so the 650b will be outlawed and we have to choose between 26" and 29". We also have to pay in pounds shillings and pence.
I'm looking forward to it. Life was much simpler when a Guinea was a pound or twenty shillings then sometimes as much as thirty. A Crown was five shillings and we could divide the penny into 4 farthings.
Damn, I miss those days.
Surely now affordable we're out of the EU we can get away from all these continental wheel sizes - 650b, 700C etc and go back to good old fashioned inches.
26 or 29 for MTB's and 28 for roadies...
