When 29" tyres are just too small....

[RodTi]

Hello all,

 

 

Came across this on the web.

Apparently, these do a good job of rolling over virtually everything...

(does that sound familiar?.... )

 

So currently 26", fast moving(??) to 29"... then 31"....33"....36"??

Should be there round about 2030/2035?

Should be fun...until your shoe hits the wheel!

Pictures are not realistic - by 2030/2035 we will be running a 1 X 45 setup (all the benefits of a 2 x 10 just better)

And when both wheels are so huge they can't be made any bigger, they will start making the rear one smaller and smaller again. Until we have a penny farthing and all the suckers have been fleeced of their spare cash, buying the latest and greatest to keep up with the Jones'.

There will be no gears, it will be electronic and variable. It will change ratio according to amount of power on the pedals, cadence and current speed

Jeez I hope IanJ isn't buying a 29r anytime soon

By 2035 I reckon chains will be replaced with direct drives and we'll have CVT cassettes
