So??

 

He still sounds like an opinionated Tjop

 

But isnt this a forum for opinionated tjops? :devil:

I converted my Spez to a 650b. Took some getting used too, showed the true difference between 26" and 650b, as this was the only change - very different to riding 26" and 27.5 on different bikes.

I generally ride with pretty high tyre pressure, as I am heavy and I had to reduce pressure quite a bit due to a much stiffer ride - certainly took some getting used too.

What tires did you change to, and what did you have before? Would have made a huge difference...

Yes armpies, you are correct. Had Captain Control 2.1 back and front, changed to Maxxis 2.10Front / 2.00Rear.

Must say I actually hated the bike when I first rode it, as I enjoyed the looseness of the 26" - but gotten used to it now.

I said may opinion is a worthless 10 zim cents you liar :o

 

I also said selling your beloved 26" for next to nothing and using your hard earned cash to buy a 650b is not such a significant, rather keep the the 26", money in the bank :o

 

also, who cares what other people think of what you ride or what I ride, I care less, ride what you smaak, as long is it's not a 650b unless you are a chick, that's my worthless opinion, use it don't use it :)

 

AND..... it starts again

how bad adding a " I dont care about your wheelsize" option... for the "minorities" like me? Because one day my n+1 bikes will have all sorts of wheels

 

I still need a 29er, a fatbike, a 26+ and a 29+
