Wynando Posted August 13 Share I dig the idea of a 36er. Quite a few options across the waters but never over here. Hopefully the tides have changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted August 14 Share Its probably great for eating up the miles Cant be too good on tight corners though. And I wonder what the wheels do to gearing, which are built around current wheel size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted August 14 Share For the love of all that is holy, please say this won't happen. The LAST thing the industry needs at this stage is another wheel-size revolution. I know the 36er has been around for a while, but let's keep it on show bikes till 2036. Charlemane and betaboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guidodg Posted August 14 Share there is no way we can resist this...bigger wheels are coming...maybe not 36ers but a 32" is definitely on the cards and makes a lot of sense on a gravel bike, especially for taller riders...watch this space.. the same was said about 29ers...

Jewbacca Posted August 14 Share Not sure why all the hate exists. Like anything, you can't mock it till you've tried it! I mean, this week alone I've seen 17" mags on a golf 1 and low profile tires on a Defender 90... Different things appeal to different people (closes door and rides off on his 20" bike) betaboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different things appeal to different people (closes door and rides off on his 20" bike) I’d love to sample one to feel the feel and of course that new wheelbase. Sure your turning circle changes but I reckon comfort would be hero here but I think tires will hover around the 780gms a piece🤔. Interesting times but let’s get to the new format from WTB first.🤓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, 36ers have been around for a long time. There are rad companies out there designing and building 36ers for very tall folks. Companies like Blacksheep in the USA, Truebikes in Slovakia, and Tractor Bikes in Western Australia. We have also reached out to an Italian company making 36er carbon hoops, Alchemist. They very kindly supported our idea and are sending some hoops for us to build up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
