Bos Posted June 26, 2012 Share The only time I feel I need to change is when I spend time on the hub, or in a bike shop Caerus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerus Posted July 13, 2012 Share So went for a "fitting" for 650B wheelset on my Giant XTC this morning and all looks good, its a little tight, but the back tyre was a 2.4 so with a 2.2 it will be perfect. CAAD4 and NotSoBigBen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg29 Posted July 13, 2012 Share What I REALLY find funny is the obsession with wheel size- why would one be so worried about the size of wheel, as opposed to the suspension travel, suspension design, gearing/ratio's, drivetrain performance, etc etc. Is it safe to assume all these inbetweeners now have ALL the other things sorted... For example, do they know exactly what type suspension design suits them personally and complements their particular riding styles? Flip, do they even know how to set up their bike properly or even ride the correct frame size/stem lengths, etc. etc etc.. Would the performance benefit you get from wheels really exceed the sum total of many other things... For example, if I run 27.5's on a crappy forks, that's not properly tuned or setup, on a bike that might not be my size or a suspension design that is inefficient, will it offer me any benefit to a proper 26er with high spec and components? I see so many 29ers in the shops now, but most of them have really *** components.. I'm just wondering why someone would be so obsessed with wheelsize but settle for average basket of other components - especially when it comes to frame, suspension design and forks/shox???

Squirrel Posted July 13, 2012 Share Oh so true!And dont forget the weight factor that goes with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Oh so true! Everyone knows that bigger wheels are faster, period.. The Hub says so, so it must be true.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
