Inspiring!

Impressive as always. Aesthetics and function are second to none.

I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Classic and on target for 95% of those attracted to 29in bikes. That being said, fat, rockered powder skis received the same reception years ago. Take a look at the 2011 ski product lines this year. Nick is spot on in that some instances, larger diameter wheels may be beneficial on certain courses. Would I trade my 26in dirt jumper for a 29in dirt jumper? No. Doesn't make sense. You could argue that 26in is too large based on how good the 20in community is when riding trails/park. When trying to go...

I'm sold on the idea. They ride differently but not necessarily worse. Yes, they do feel weird at first but just like adapting to anything new, once you get used to them they open up an entirely new world of benefits. Yes they can turn. Yes they hold their momentum in the rough stuff. Yes they smooth out and are not impacted as much by braking bumps made by 26 in tires coming into corners on a downhill course. If you approach the ride scientifically and actually see how fast you are on each style bike you might be surprised...
