MBP, you got way to much time on your hands.

Its because he rides a 26".... it takes him half the time the 29'ers take to do the same training.

That can't be a cyclist holding up that bike. No way a skinny arm can carry the weight of a 29er frame!

Wasfat, Manbearpig says you ride like a girl!!!!

At last! Some aggression. Now all we need are a few more 4 letter words, some exclamation marks and a sprinkling of personal insults.

And I've decided to pick a side: 26er riders like to swap their bike saddles for dildos when nobody is watching.

What is clear from all these comments? You are all conservative and does not want to move with the times. I would bet that most of you still favours HT vs dual sus.

Challenge to all the 26" believers - use some BMX wheels on your bike and see the diff! Simple logic, you will turn faster, you will have more impact, you will stop at small obstacles, you will go slower down a descend than the old tannie walking! :o :o

Do you still cycle or do you have a vehicle? Why don't just cycle if you think that the development of the vehicle was just a development for no reason?

Ns. I am riding a 26", but I will definately be going to 29" with my next bike.


Burry weigh the same as my left leg and..... First he went for dual sus, now a 29". Only in the exceptional event of very tight turns, he reverts back to the 26" dual sus.
29er is like a Turbo Diesel - slow out the blocks until the turbo kicks in, then it goes like the clappers with less input versus a petrol engine.

26" is like a Petrol Engine. Some prefer Diesel and some prefer Petrol - Personal Choice and Freedom.

The development of the Diesel Engines currently attracts more money and research. The Engine is moving faster than the Petrol, just like a 29er.

Aggies, then why dont you just get a pennyfarthing? Wheels have actually gotten SMALLER since then so that argument is a waste of time :P

@ TIM, you have chosen the wrong side bra.....have you ever seen the manbearpig when he gets grumpy? Better change sides quick or you might as well start chewing on a brick, either way you will lose your teeth... ;) :D :D

exactly, why stop at 29"? I think I'm gonna start working on a 32" wheeled bike. It will run over rocks much smoother then a 29" seeing that that is the start of all "why are 29ers better then 26" bikes" topics.
Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.

Mampara, just go as big as possible, as long as it fits under the start/finish banner you wont even feel a bump.... and you can always sleep under it when you get to the finish and everyone else has gone home.... B)
