Confused: Not sure what to do

[duringd]

if only I was a stronger, fitter rider, my 29'er ride would be even BETTER than my 26er!

[Mr. G]

See how many 29 er's are now available, much fewer 26" in relation to before. Keep telling yourselves that it is just a craze, and that everyone will go back to 26" - hahahahahahaha not likely.

another friend of mine has bought a 29er... what is this world coming too

 

Being someone who knows his way around a camera I'll put it into your language: the issue at hand is like comparing APS-C (26er) with full frame (29er).*

 

The APS guys will try convince you as to the virutes of having a smaller sensor (cheaper, smaller, lighter - sound familiar?) But at the end of the day, size counts and once you've tried full frame you'll never go back.

Pretty much all the pro's use full frame - although they might keep a APS-C hanging around 'just in case'. (Also pretty much the case with the big boys in cycling).

When will the guys with the old fashion bikes of yesteryear stop sulking about the wise move of others. Maybe I know the answer to my own question...the day they can afford it to upgrade!

 

Changing to a 29'er need to be an expensive exercise and as with a good 26'er finding a well balanced and good riding frame is the first starting point to a happy rider.

Hopefully not to be taken to serious, Geecee uses a cropped sensor body.

Cut him loose !

 

That T-Shirt is classic

haha we shall see... giba this weekend, some nice switchbacks and a few jumps 29 vs 26 at its best

 

Take him up the switchbacks on the blue route @ Giba, that should be a good test or him.

haha well said... but there will always be advantages and disadvantages.

i doubt we will see a huge influx of 29ers on the downhill course.

 

and a 1d is actually a crop sensor too, being 1.3x so technically only people that shoot with 5D's would be pro according to your logic
