gummibear Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 To many variables in that test. I'm keeping my 26er[emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji122][emoji122]
JacBrand Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Like he said in the video. Its the rider more than the bike. Wheel size and bike price does not you a better rider, training does.But yea, I still have a 26 inch bike and would probebly upgrade to 29 inch later this year. Final thought... just be happy!
GoLefty!! Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 "No statistical difference" The dialogue should have ended there because after that he shot his science in the foot and came across as 29 punter.
Hairy Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Everybody knows 29ers are the ultimate wheel solution......ask cycle lab and they will tell you too.
NicNacDH Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 All boils down to personal choice, and not "science", i believe.
Ispeed_V Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 I have a 27.5 and suites me to a TAs said, boils down to personal choice
NGUTF Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 Love my wheel size. Was hoping to use this as an excuse to get another bike
Runbikeswim Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Went from 26 to 29 and now on 27.5 I will prefer the 27.5
Pappa Bear Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Wait till 650b+ comes out......... That might be the best.......fat tyre mixed with a 29er but on 27.5 sized rim :-) :-) Don't know if I should be excited or sarcastic?.?..?........????????

FLYIT Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 LOVE MY 26ER and my 650B and my SS and my geared bike WAIT!! JUST LOVE MY BIKES
JohnnyD. Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Went from a 29" XCO Hardtail to a 650b trail bike and I love the 650b. I find it much faster in the proper technical stuff. But again, all boils down to "personal preference".
Wayne Potgieter Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 LOVE MY 26ER and my 650B and my SS and my geared bike WAIT!! JUST LOVE MY BIKES yeah. I am pretty much in the same boat. I have always grabbed my dual suss 29r as my go to bike for events and long rides and so on. But this weekend i played around with a long travel CTD suspension 650b and it was so much fun. My garmin times at big red barn were faster than the 29r. but i doubt any science was involved....i was just having so much fun i was riding like mad. It just proves that the fastest bike is the funnest bike.
