Here we go. This is it. This is the definitive answer!

A) A 26” wheel bike
B) A 650b wheel bike

If you answer “A” buy a 26” wheel bike. If you answer “B” buy a 650b wheel bike. If you answer “C” buy a 29” wheel bike.
If you answer “D” go for the one with the best paint job.
The End.
Please God, make it stop.
*Cue the antelope*
Choctopus?
Nice euphemism Cpt
I am worried about where HtS wants you to put the antelope though
There are different wheel sizes?
Wow, who'd have known.
you missed out 4" fat bikes, 5" fat bikes, and 29+ (and soon to be announced 650b+)
A
I've ringfenced my unicorn, so I'm pretty safe in putting my antelope anywhere he wants it, Junky. Yes, EVEN THERE!
C - already brought last Saturday and to be honest wheel size was a VERY small factor more inportant what it rode like and did I like
E a 26" wheeled bike and not be forced to have to buy anything else as manufacturers don't make the bike I want in 26"
The End.
if only.

The next fad will be different shape wheels.
F - I'm withholding my cash until the mfrs and mags get their butts in to gear and make the "debate" go away (but ideally 26in).
Z, 26" frame 29er front 650 rear 😛
and soon to be announced 650b+
Hope so. Makes more sense to me than 4" or 29+. Could be rubbish though.
26" on the principle of the thing. Getting really hacked off with this now.
the fact that Orange and Giant (and others i pressume) are discontinuing 26" wheels to try and force the consumers hand just highlights them as objectional****munchers. I will stick with traditional wheels as long as possible.
What's this wheel size debate you speak of?
A leap over the gates at Angel - MORNINGTON CRESCENT!

Is this why the Alpine 160 has been redesigned with 26" wheels?
