so 650B is the fastest thing since sliced bread

 

Hmmm... I dont think it was the wheels ;) ....I think it was more due to the fact that Greg still has a faulty knee :D

Well, 650B is starting to settle its place in the market.

Good to see.

More options for the consumer.

More confusion for the consumer...

What confusion? It's either 29ers or 650b, 26" bikes are obsolete :ph34r:

I would bet a lot of money that those extra 1.5 inches made absolutely no difference yesterday. The difference between Greg and aaron was a recovering injury vs someone working hard as hell in the off season ( including mick). Remember also that Aaron had a better split than Greg in the upper section where tyre size makes no diff at all... And remember that Aaron had beaten Greg here before when they were both on 26

Best place for a world champ to be in the world cup is 2nd overall, so he can rock the stripes at each race and then take the overall at the final race of the season....
