Has the plot been lost?

26",27'5",29" and now a combination of the 27.5 and the 29er.

 

Would a 140mm travel fork on a 27.5 not give the same height as the 29er with a 100mm fork?

Be the same as the old trek 69er.. this must just be 75.9er or 79er..

The more of this i start to see,cant help but think my 26ers are reaaly no gimmick :thumbup:

Surely they would sell more with just keeping the wheels both 650b??? Cos then it might actually a pretty cool, fun bike! Cos that 29er front ain't gonna like the switch backs we tend to enjoy!

To be fair though ,should work out better then the 69er ,being that there's not such a big gap between the 26"and 29"wheels.

As you say though 29 on switchbacks... is sies :mellow:

I was just thinking that it's all good and well for the front wheel to roll over the rocks,but imagine the whipping you going to get when that rear wheel hits it.

I had a 69er. Not a bad ride but it definitely didn't handle better than bikes with two 29ers or two 26ers imo.

Just like the 69'er, Can't see this hybrid taking off either.
