SwissVan Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 At top and above is the complete 2013 Stumpjumper FSR collection. The Stumpjumper FSR is now the only full suspension line that includes both 26″ and 29er. No, Specialized has no announced plans to do a 650B bike at this time, something reiterated by several folks across both the mens and womens bike lines. http://www.bikerumor...actual-weights/ Yep the Stumpjumper FSR is maintains both sizes probably because its meant to be a all round bike and not a pure XCO or XMO bike allthough you could use it for them if you wanted to. The point is Specialized have made a statemunt by their actions, if you want to buy one of their marathon or XC racing bikes it will have to be a 29er.... If you want a 26er then you have to buy a AM, DH, Freeride type bike.

ChUkKy Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I know where there's one in Benoni… Got directions we can share with this oke?
Zula Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 it really doesnt make sense to me why 26inch bikes are still in production especially if you look at the amount of 29ers and how popular they are in south africa at the moment please share your thoughts. I think that it a retarded comment. Ride my Morewood Zula in Tokai and then tell me that 26" bikes are dead and buried. But I guess if you live in JHB and the riding is mainly district roads then yes 26" are pointless. It still mystifies me why people are selling perfectly good and fantastic 26" ual sus bikes for a 29" hardtail. That to me is regression but I guess each to his own. GLuvsMtb 1
ThePubSA Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I have a more important burning question, Durex or government issue ? Ye if its burning when you pee,you shouldnt have used the government issue
Cav' Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Is that Frank Schleck's Swingball set?How did you know?
Tumbleweed Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Got directions we can share with this oke? Go down Golden Drive. Bear right at the fork where the dirt road starts. Head into the bluegums.
Tumbleweed Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 How did you know? The mountains in the background.
BergForce Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Is that Frank Schleck's Swingball set? No it can`t be, Franks one got a puddle next to it.
Tumbleweed Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 No it can`t be, Franks one got a puddle next to it. He was wearing his nappy.
Guest Omega Man Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 It still mystifies me why people are selling perfectly good and fantastic 26" ual sus bikes for a 29" hardtail. That to me is regression but I guess each to his own. Shush. It means we can score stupid bargains on barely used 26 inch bikes. As to the original question. I was in France 2 weeks ago riding in Morzine, Les Gets etc and I saw one 29er in 2 weeks. On district roads they are the way forward. On real tracks that challenge and exite. They simply don't work.
RockCoach Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Oh this a fanny thread ... Funny I mean... You know nothing about how different wheel sizes compare11!!! I bet you haven't even ridden a 650B with a wobbly back wheel. Edited July 23, 2012 by slick Danger Dassie 1
BergForce Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I want a hardtail with a 29er back wheel and 650b front, and I want a 29er dually, and I want a 26" 140mm travel bike.
Tumbleweed Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Oh this a fanny thread ... Funny I mean... Remember when these were cool?
patches Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Remember when these were cool? Sorry, I'm either too young to remember... or maybe just missed out by not living on the east rond Edited July 23, 2012 by patches
