TitusTi Posted August 23, 2010 Share It only really looks odd if the shorter guys are riding them, the bikes were designed so that us tall gangly kids can play too, now all the little guys wanna come take our toys, bastards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rock Posted August 23, 2010 Share It only really looks odd if the shorter guys are riding them, the bikes were designed so that us tall gangly kids can play too, now all the little guys wanna come take our toys, bastards! I take offence to that, my 16" frame with 29" wheels and a negative 20 degree stem looks well proportioned to me! thanks to little guys like me, you big kids now have more than one tyre choice and plethora of frame options.......

AndreZA Posted August 23, 2010 Share what will be the benifit to put 29inch wheels on a med frame? can it be done? did not quite follow what the guy on pedal talk said you can not put 29" wheels on a frame that was designed for 26" wheels. Remember the this number refers to wheels size, not frame size. You need a special frame and fork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummibear Posted August 23, 2010 Share What is the bennefit of 29" over 26" for the average rider like me who rides a medium frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_David_ Posted August 23, 2010 Share What is the bennefit of 29" over 26" for the average rider like me who rides a medium frame? From the reviews I have read on the net it seems that 29ers roll better than 26ers over bumpy terrain but that these slight pros balance out with the cons, such as weight and slower acceleration.

Eldron Posted August 23, 2010 Share ooo ok thanks! Ask the experts: http://www.ninerbikes.com/fly.aspx?layout=bikes&technology=true&taxid=103 The jury is still out on the technology - some agree - some don't. I'm pro 29er - I have the Niner Air 9 and love it. No 26er will ever be allowed between my legs again As I always say: the ladies love the extra 3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
