why do they still make 26 inch bikes if 29ers are clearly the way forward?

all you guys that are against 29ers have never ridden one.

 

I suspect there may be some truth in that, but likely more a financial decision. But by the same token, I wonder with all the newcomers to the sport how many 29er owners have actually ridden a 26er?

its just a marketing phase we passing through, the bike industry saw a gullible market and exploited it.

the rest of the world still rides 26".

and trust me, they will all be back to the 26"

HaHaHaHa!!

This thread serves no purpose, other than a soapbox for a troll. It should be shut down before the flame wars start!

At the very least it should be randomly merged with any of the other 2naainer threads out there, like so many other threads have been merged together(Eg Suikerbosrand threads, book threads)

The OP has a point in a way, wonder how many bike makers will still be offering 26" options in their 2013/14 ranges?

Think specialised are only doing 29" in 2013?

I actually can't believe how stupid this thread is. Obviously the o.p. Is taking the piss. And everyone is falling for it. We are all tjops!

 

It's worrying that it took 4 pages for someone to realise this...

firstly, you thought of this thread as being attention seeking and you still proceed to comment....is that not feeding the soo called "attention seeking thread" and slightly hypocritical?....secondly,the aim of this thread is not to seek attention it is to be provided with an answer to a simple question that proved too complicated for you to answer.

you will be surprised how many people actually think like this (ie. the op's original question)....and the op has just proven that in his last comment
