Well... Ive had a look at a couple of 29ers and I'm sorry they just look wrong. They just look like a slightly more attractive hybrid.
However I realise I'm in the minority on here. I'm sticking to 26ers

Have you ridden one?
Posted 1 year ago # -
no i havent. Im sure they ride ok.. they just look weird to me.

I'm sticking to 26ers but more because of the fact that I'm worried I'll end up buying loads more kit if I try a 29er than from some aesthetic revulsion.

Oh I wouldn't sat that. We're the silent majority. Well we were. I still am. But you've jettisoned your 'silent' bit by saying they're shit.
The far-from-silent minority will now launch into you. Good luck!
Oh... I can't stand hummus. Its like wallpaper paste

I spy a troll! Fair one though, they're not for everyone. I'm undecided but will probably stay with a 26" for the same reason as wwaswas.

I don't like fish, seafood or lamb and I'm allergic to fresh ginger.

zippykona, is it the look of tomatoes or the taste ?
Maybe if you got someone to put them in a sandwich for you so you could eat them without looking at them, you'd be OK.
Likewise, Manitou, if it's just the looks of 29ers you don't like, you could keep a sheet over it until you get on, then wear some sort of blinkers so you can't look down while riding.Posted 1 year ago # -
didnt say they were shit.. but Im not going to buy something i think looks horrible..

zippykona - is it just raw tomato? Do you like them cooked, say in a spaghetti bolognaise? How about lasagna?

I can handle a tomato sauce that doesn't taste of tomato!
My grievance is with pre packed food. Every sandwich has tomato in it. So a cheese and pickle sandwich is really cheese,pickle and tomato.Posted 1 year ago # -
I've always thought 29ers aren't for me. Things like this may change my mind: https://vimeo.com/40481715

I'm sure the OP is ok to ride but he does look wrong...

I could take or leave 29ers, although I do like the look of the new Santa Cruz FS ones !
.... as for ferkin Coconut, you can take that crap and shove it in a deep hole somewhere. Just wrong in soooooo many ways !

There are plenty of minging 26" bikes out there...

True

Posted 1 year ago # -
He's right though, some do look absolutely wrong, as do any FS bike with those awful bent top tubes

i guess it depends, my 26ers look rubbish:

Ahh, now I think you're confusing 'Cheese and Pickle' for 'Ploughmans'.
I also wish that people would accept that when someone discovers a new 'food', there is a possibility they could get it wrong. See sprouts for an example of this....

Sprouts are one of the best bits of Xmas!
What's really wrong is brown sauce....

I bloody love sprouts. And brown sauce too actually, although obviously not together. Although now you mention it...

Pickled Octopus - one of the rare foodstuffs I gave up on. And I only like proper stonebake pizzas - 26/29", I don't mind.

I wouldnt buy a shirt, jacket, top, trouser,car,or indeed bike I didnt like the look of.

trouser
Ideally you want to be on the lookout for a pair, however great the trouser looks it'll be socially awkward without a partner.

Where do you get such wondrously sized posh cheese on toast?

It's all relative to what you're used to. I now find 26ers look 'wrong' because the wheels are too small and the frame is too big for them.

I'm talking looks not taste you plonkers!
