Big-wheeled Surly bikes: The next bandwagon…

So Surly, one of the fore-runners of 29ers with the Karate Monkey, one of the first fat-bikes with the Pugsley (not to mention their own tyres, rims and now the Moonlander), and creaters of the Krampus with its 3″ 29er tyres have bought us the new wheel size:

That’s right. Its a 26″ wheel bike with 2.75″ tyres, giving the same diameter as a 650b! Genius!

Personally, I think it looks frikin’ ace.
