scotty Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Yes, while i also have 29" i love riding my 26", it's my fun bike and I also find it more nifty on single track and twisty bits.
Greybeard Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Hi Slowbee. I did create a poll. 80% of the 135 votes still ride 26ers. I was wondering if the cycling community has given up on 26ers. All i hear at bike shops are that they only sell 29ers and 650 b bikes. As i said, no disrespect to anybodys wheel chioce. Thanks for taking part. And yes, i ride a 26 er.I have said it before, 26'ers will be around for a long time to come. For tires,tubes and other specific parts there are bargains to be had. I buy consumables like tires at half or one third the cost of 29'ers.
jugheaddave Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 At 6ft and a bit; I feel way to tall for a 26er!!
RockCoach Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Yes. There are 7x 26" in the family. 5 of which are ridden regularly. A few other sizes in there too.
RichieT Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Yes X2, but thinking of a 650B Anthem to replace my 26" Anthem, don't know why.. need to try one first, and there's no rush
RichieT Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 One of the big issues is that all your 26" specific spares become redundant... wheels, tyres etc, so there's got to be a very good reason to make the change

Hahahahaha! Bwahahahahahaha! Tell that to mavic, RS, suntour etc. Sure they'd love to hear your opinion.
Fruity Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Yup.. started on a 26er about 6 years ago, then went to a 29er about 2 years ago.. then about a year ago, sold the 29er for another 26er.
Sarge Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Hi,I have a 26 but would seriously like to try a 29 before commenting which is better.Sarge
Rotiringer Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Train on a 26 and race on a 29 - getting on the 29 just feels so good
RichieT Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Haha. Hahahahaha! Bwahahahahahaha! Tell that to mavic, RS, suntour etc. Sure they'd love to hear your opinion. Actually I'm happy! You can buy 26" wheels at very good prices these days...
