3/16/2026 8:58am I’d say pick where you want your tire to truly excel. If you ride serious slabs pokies may not be your jam, but if you are on high consequence skidders often you’ll love the pokie effect. Overall I’d say these types of tires suffered from the assumptions that they would be squirmy or something, but the reality is that they...

3/16/2026 8:53am I look at it as ratio of rider size to gyroscopic effect. Smaller riders are more in the bike and the gyroscopic effect of the wheels contributes more stability to the system. 32” will push this relative stability up into larger sized bikes.

3/15/2026 7:09pm I agree with you it's how many sports are regulated, but I also hope that isn't where downhill & xc are headed yet. Imagine if we were all still on 26 wheels with a 410mm size L reach with quick release wheels because that was the regulation from 20 years ago. Obviously there is a line, but I hope the governing body doesn't draw that line too soon. I hope there's a more open ruleset, for now, because of the innovation happening in the sport, even though we may not all agree on some of it (headset routing for example)...

3/13/2026 3:03pm Ever watched any sport ever? How they are full of people born with qualities that make them especially good at their sport? You think the top pros don’t have a better baseline than your neighbor? Sports have ALWAYS rewarded athletes who have natural predisposition for their sport. Look at the inverse, sports that favor smaller riders. Hell, talk to a...

3/13/2026 10:13am I cannot believe how inane the convo around 32 is. Please, people: you are saying the exact same things they said about 29.

3/4/2026 1:39pm I've been riding them for a few seasons. Pretty great. I treat them like garbage and have not had any problems.

3/2/2026 8:39pm A Vital MTB Tech Rumors contributors and enjoyers meetup would be a secret society event I would be fired up to show up to. Somewhere like Whistler in the summer or an apres sea otter. It could be fully unofficial to uninvolve the legal teams of the vital overlords. We could make a partiful and t shirts. All would be merry. Core lords could flex. I would go.
