Both MTB's are 26ers. I'm not a follower of fashion & there's nothing wrong with either, so have no interest in changing to anything else.
Got a 27.5 Trigger and a Carbon 26 Whippet and I think the Whippets my favourite bike I've ever had.
26"SS specific Inbred & 120 Rebas. It's becoming more vintage by the years, but it just gets better as I replace bits.
Classic components stay that way. Renthal chainrings, Thomson Elite post & stem , Mavic 521's etc etc.
26 for life ya.
Yep - I am still on 26" for all my mountain bikes, Boardman Pro (hardtail), Intense Tracer & Canyon Torque
I have no desire to switch wheel size

2013 Covert - absolutely love it!
Carbon 456 (not sure of year) - absolutely love it!
The best thing about the mass hype of first 29er then 650b was the clearance sales on top end 26inch kit. Only way I was ever going to afford a mojo SL and I love it. The only concern I have is if they stop making decent tyres in 26inch
2 X 26" for me. Norco sight and a 456 summer season. Main reason for me was they were both dirt cheap secound hand. Both fun bikes which is all that matters to me. 🙂

So who on here still just rides a plain old 26"?[/I]
26" here. 26" is where it all started and where I'm happy for it to remain, for me.
Should the world of science, one day prove that 26" is factually inferior to 29ers. Even better, because I'll still be as quick as anyone riding 29ers. It's akin to winning a grand prix in a car that doesn't have the best engine, etc.
And the cake will taste even sweeter, Because if 26" is really inferior, then it's the rider that made the difference.
