nathrix Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 If Nino and Phil were on 29ers they would've been in yellow arendoog 1
Hairy Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 If it's all about the rider only, the pros shouldn't have a problem competing on a BMX well if they are all competing on bmx's........
Johny Bravo Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 If Nino and Phil were on 29ers they would've been in yellow Buys, absolutely. Nino, I dont think so.
BogusOne Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014  Yeah, it must be hard staying awake all night praying for your wheels to become 29'ers.  Hahaha there goes the beer all over my screen :lol:
kosmonooit Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Any 26" in the mix this year? just curious ...
Warren_G Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Its the rider not the wheels.. tall people on 650b's/26rs dont work, similar to short people on 29r's.. find your match and you can excel. Its the rider at the end of the day.Agreed, I should probably be on 650b's but my 29ers have served me well.
GoLefty!! Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I will get a 650b next year. there will be more choice and I feel its going to be the standard wheel size in future due to better strength and reliability. For now my 26er is just great and climbs like a scalded cat
BogusOne Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I still want a 36er. These small wheels just aint good enough anymore ;) nathrix and Bizkit031 2

No issues. Promise. Climbs like my suntiger tarantula up any hill my legs would allow. arendoog and BogusOne 2
