ben-johan Posted November 22, 2011 Share Gholf has had the same hectic growth in equipment ,more so than cycling.You cannot buy a good game ,but you can buy equipment that helps improve what you have .That makes you positive and enjoy it more,so you stay in the sport.Same thing happend to me when i got a decent bike that suited me.In this case 29er duelsus.My bike will be way too big and heavy for a 60kg person ,who is better of with a smaller and lighter bike.There is a place for both and probably something in between Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skott5 Posted November 22, 2011 Share You guys are taking the " It's not about the bike " jibe too literally. The OP is saying that GM has TALENT. We know this already. He will look good on anything.Of course the better the equipment, the faster he will go. PS, they asked him at Berg and Bush what he preferred - 26'er was his answer. Similarly, Tomac who's name is mentioned in this thread was also asked a while ago what he preferred, and it was also a 26'er. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat-ass Posted November 22, 2011 Share So Greg and tomac said 26er...... Go figure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Luke. Posted November 22, 2011 Share Tomac may say he prefers 26'ers, but his first major win was at the US bmx nationals... cruiser class and he has more 29'ers in the 2012 Tomac range than any other kind of mtb Minnaar may say he prefers 26'ers, but has he ever won anything whilst riding one? Obviously DH doesn't count.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bike Vendor Posted November 22, 2011 Share EishhNow the 29ers will go after Greg Minaar, bro you have opened a can of worms here, don't you know that the only thing bigger than a 29inch wheel is the owners sensitivity on the subject...

geecee Posted November 22, 2011 Share useless debate...This is a topic that even comes up in motorcross etc... At least the mx guys admit its more skill than bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drongo Posted November 22, 2011 Share Basically Greg proved a roadie with the right skills can kick a mtbikers ass.... Not at all son. What he may have proved was that a roadbike, used with the right skills, may kick a MTB's ass.What he DID prove was that a mtbiker, on anything, can kick a roadies ass. Sorry 4 U.

GM26" Posted November 22, 2011 Share You guys are nuts wahahaI had a killer time with Bikeparksa out in Karkloof, to be honest I haven't really ridden out there and its maybe 20 min from my place. We rode a trail that is up there with the best in the World, I wish I had taken my TRC. I thought it would be fun to test out a cross bike since I had never been off road on one.... it was rough, but a load of funI hope its because of the crap weather that you guys are on forums rather then the trails, and not because 29ers aren't that much fun....
