But the perks are another thing all together....

 

I don't know. A wise man once told me never to make you hobby your job.

 

Also why I turned down 2 jobs in that industry in the past. One for a website and one for a magazine.

Me too. I was offered editing positions on the local Playboy and Hustler. The salary package wasn't big enough. Interestingly, the dude who took the Hustler gig was the one who Amor sued successfully over a parody...

Thats big ...the ss card.

 

Meh. Everybody is a hero on their own bike.

 

My pet hate is people peddling blatant lies like "650B carries momentum and rolls like a 29" because well 650B is lighter than an equivalent 29er so if you believe Newton it's impossible for it to carry the same momentum and with a higher attack angle than a 29er it cannot roll like one.

 

Also "650 B climbs and accelerates like a 26" and has the same snappy handling and turning on tight single track as a 26 does". Uhhh no it doesn't. 650B handles less snappy than an equiavelnt 26 because it weighs more.

 

650B certainly has it's place in the world (although 650A would have been a better "in betweener" in my opinion) but to say 650B has all the benefits of 26 PLUS all the benefits of 29er is plain old ignorance.

Ed zach....my reply to people that say its the best of both worlds are...the worst of both too.

Well if nobody is going to let logic soil this thread then I have hardtail 29er that handles like a Greg Minnaar on the downhills, Michael Rasmussen on the climbs, Fabian C on the flats and does the technical stuff like Nino Shurter. It also makes a wicked Cappuchino and cleans itself after every ride (including a chain lube).

 

 

OK there you just talking rubbish dude whistling.gif ;)

One man's - lighter than 29er and better rolling than 26er is another man - heavier than 26er and doesn't roll as well as a 29er.

 

Plus - there is that wee fact that 650B is far closer to the size of a 26er than a 29er...
