It's not that they can't, its just that 26" is better for most gnar riding.
29" DH world cup bike? I think not.

Rode a tallboy the other day and was amazed how well it handled and how easily it was chucked about. Want. Dunno if they'll be winning DH races anytime soon but I really wouldn't be surprised.

Nuclear fallout from exploding wheels prevents 29gnar (see what I did there, pleased with that one!)

Sancho, the point of the thread was to post a vid of some good riding on a 29'er, not to rekindle the millennia old argument about wheels size. Plenty of posts on it elsewhere if ya fancy an argument.

yet the most interesting quote form the intense designer was "most of the people with negative comments about 29ers haven't even ridden an xc of AM one" ๐Ÿ˜‰

never mind fella when you grow tall enough you can swing a leg over a grown ups bike, now isn't time for some warm milk and bedtime story for you? ๐Ÿ˜†

I didn't give an opinion one way or the other, just pointed out that they appear to have canned it and you instantly get an arse on. This place really is hard work

there was me thinking short arses like yourself would be more likely to suffer that fate?

I think it's a top video brake-neck I also liked the one ages ago of a chap riding a full rigid 29er SS in the alps which ended up in similar bun fight. ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

all bike are good, just chill people and enjoy what you ride

My Mrs has two 29ers but i've never seen any sand in her fanny.

Do you think she just washes it out before i get to see it?

Agreed, but by nowhere near as much as any mtb does in comparison to a BMX.

Disagree, the all get proportionately more shit as the wheel size gets bigger.

A trifle naive of you to think you could post a title like that and not start up the old argument!

As for me? I like bikes.

right, that's it, that's fighting talk that is, only like fighting is bad...and gives me negative vibes........and my beard might get blood in it and it'll take ages to dry after washing it......

right that's it, that's a "getting a stern glance" talk that is. Prepare to be be glared at, like you've never been glared at before!!

not gnar, and cringeworthy sterotypical bits, but still makes me want to go and ride and ride and ride until my little legs fall off

With large volume continental tyres on my wheels, they measure close to 27.5" and are half way to being 'fat' could this be the new niche wheel size!!!!! Sorry no videos of me being radsik and all gnarly..
