Zac.A Posted September 4, 2011 Share nah, its just spez.Apparently going through some changes...They don't want any independent bike shops to stock their stuff, they'd prefer to have concept stores around the place.That's what i've heard from a local shop that stocks spez when I asked about them getting new stock.

Tioga Posted September 4, 2011 Share THe real MJ, I am fully with you on the fact that Burry looks slightly slower on the 29er through the technical stuff. He is still an awesome rider none the less, the 26" suits him better, but the money lies in selling the brand, and that is exactly what he is doing for Specialized at the moment!!

kosmonooit Posted September 4, 2011 Share That's a bit harsh bro - I think they are good for each other, both being pro cyclists, besides they are engaged and all the best 2 them. I get there tweets, often sweet. Now, Cav on the other hand.... Burry is so tied with Spez and this and that brand, and that he (seems to) have direct business interests in, so maybe its just getting a bit messy.  Lets hope 2012 is going to be hassle free and he can find his focus & form. He is so close and we know he can do it. How is his 2012 Olympic ranking / standing now? or who is in so far? wat gat aan? Edited September 5, 2011 by Tumbleweed To remove quoted content.

YUMEYA Posted September 4, 2011 Share Specialized themselves feel that the 26 " hardtail has seen the end of days. This is sad..I still need to get my Stump Jumper HT frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted September 4, 2011 Share This is sad..I still need to get my Stump Jumper HT frame.

StokedAboutSpokes Posted September 4, 2011 Share I rate specialized says to Burry, win it on a 26er, you get normal pay, win it on a 29er, you get a bonus! I also heard a rumour that he is testing out a prototype 27.5er during his training.. I think this will be the new 29er this time next year.

WynieSteyn Posted September 4, 2011 Share wasnt burry racing under 23 when he was the champ on a 26inch? Competition is harder and has nothing to do with wheel size. . .and everyone has their off day, at least he won the epic. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
