I just laughed out loudThis topic has never been discussed before.
get back in your hole or get fixed!!rft::lol:Fixed it for you.
No, you must do what the industry tells you to do otherwise the industry will fail and collapse because you aren't consuming more goods that you don't need.another one of these threads?
ride what feels best for you, don't listen to what the "industry" wants you to do. /thread
you eem like a right bellend, i chose 26er, and i love it, what you gon do?No, you must do what the industry tells you to do otherwise the industry will fail and collapse because you aren't consuming more goods that you don't need.
Also size does matter.
You can be a man and get big 29" wheels or be a little sissy boy and get 26" wheels.
If you are not sure what category you fall in then get 650b/27.5" wheels.
Then let everyone know that you are a little sissy boy trying grow up or maybe that you are a manly man trying to be in touch with your sensitive side but I don't know.
Christ! We get it, you're a 29er fanboi so can you just let the poor horse die already?No, you must do what the industry tells you to do otherwise the industry will fail and collapse because you aren't consuming more goods that you don't need.

I think he is being sarcastically hyperbolic and forgot to insert the appropriate emoticon to let everyone in on it.Christ! We get it, you're a 29er fanboi so can you just let the poor horse die already?
Nonsense. There are plenty reasons to ride a 29er, (or any size for that matter) having a roadie "mentality" is not really one.It all depends on what you are after. 26 inch wheels are best for cornering and popping airs, 29 inch wheels are better if you have a more "roadie" type mentality and you are after milage and more xc riding. If you don't understand this concept you are probably better off on a 29er. The 26 wheel size is practically going extinct as company's are all moving there line ups into the 27.5 realm.
I wonder about comments like this because, if this is accurate at all, then wouldn't 24" or 20" or even 16" wheel be better than your oversized 26" bikes?With that being said I have heard that 29 inch wheel bike are getting better at AM/aggressive trail riding with better geo. I'm not completely sold on it tho since I prefer a bike that handles more like dh rig for xc riding. Those big wheels feel slugish and awkward to me. It may be better for straight forward rolling but once again that is not a factor or benefit that out weighs the drawbacks for me.
I disagree. Although I was making fun of myself for saying the 29er is best because I ride one, the truth of this statement should still ring clear: threads like this are basically asking for opinions, so I am giving mine. Since this topic has been beaten to death, over and over and over again, I feel responses like the one I gave are the only honest reply in a thread like this, everything else comes off as disingenuous drivel.Don't listen to the "this is what I ride so it's the best comments".
Give you a grammar lesson so people can understand you.you eem like a right bellend, i chose 26er, and i love it, what you gon do?
You are correct but I would not expect little boys with 26" bikes to be smart enough to be able to figure it out on their own.I think he is being sarcastically hyperbolic and forgot to insert the appropriate emoticon to let everyone in on it.
...on a related note, I bought another 29er yesterday so I basically agree with everything he says about being a real man. :thumbsup:
Or that you can't do tight twisty single track.I still haven't figured out why people say you can't grab air on a 29. I grab big air on both of mine, do 5-10 foot drops and haven't folded a wheel yet.
Same thing when I lived in Austin. 29ers ruled there. In fact they almost seemed mandatory (or at least made the most sense) given the terrain. Not nearly as many 29ers back out here in Oakland.Or that you can't do tight twisty single track.
Tons of tight twisty single track here in Western NC and the majority of bikes on the trail are 29ers.
