Bought a new bike recently? 26 or 29?

29HT

1x 26 HT

29er Felt HT
29er Surly Ogre rigid for commute and bike touring
700c (29er) Felt road bike

29er Singular Swift (rigid ss) to complement 26er FS Rocky Mountain Element. Like ’em both equally and differently.

Whyte 29c full xtr replaced with a cannondale flash ultimate 2012 26″

29er Lapierre XR 529 coming from a Cotic BFe – Absolutely love it!

Last bike i splashed out on was a 29er FS.

26’er – New Commencal AM replacing the broken Meta 5.5

Just building an ancient Dawes edge 853 up, it’s a 26’er. Gonna use it for work and commuting.

700c
29er on the cards

Either buying a 29er HT tomorrow if it fits, or ordering another I know definitely does (if they have any left!) hoping the former fits! Will replace a 26er inbred

26er (c456)

Fantastic deal on a 26″ 120mm FS to replace a 26″ 100mm FS
…still fancy a 29″ though (N+1)!

It’s level pegging! My god, the adrenaline…

29er – 23
26er – 23
700c – 7
650b – 7
24er – 1

26 HT for gf xmas pressie, 26 HT frame for future build (bargain price) but I am a died in the wool traditionalist 🙂

Level pegging my arse 😉

SC tallboy 29er today! for the wife though. For me, Cotic Solaris 29er.

Bought a 29er FS, which has replaced a longer travel 26er FS.

Hope to build up a hardtail this year, probably singlespeed. Value for money on what I can get hold of will dictate the wheel size!

Missus got a 26 fs blur ltc in October built up and awesome…
I will demo the clown wheels but my next bike will be a 26 dh bike

a 26″ kona lava dome that ive upgraded

but plan to 650b it when i get my new job

Whyte T129S to replace a Yeti 575

So another 29er 😉

I did plan a 650b but got distracted 😉

26″ whippet a few months back and another one from Mrs Kerv for Christmas. So two more for the 26″ tally.

Specialized Sirrus (700c) for work back in November.
26″ Steel HT frame ASAP for an interim project

Then a pause to a) let wife calm stop shouting and b) see what the verdict is on 650b.

I’ve just bought a Trance 29er….my first ever new bike 😀

26″ full suss last summer. Never really considered 29″ TBH.

Lightweight front bounce 29’er HT in June and another one on the way in 5 weeks, this time a 29’er rigid steel one

Can I add what’s on the way?

A 26″ MDE Carve 6 to replace the 26″ Lapierre Spicy (both 150-160mm travel FS)
A 26″ Cotic BFe to replace a 26″ hardtail.

Lots of enthusiasm for (and buying of) 29ers among the chaps I ride with at the moment.

I used to think 29ers looked odd but these days I catch myself looking at 26in wheels and thinking “they look tiny”.

I see the advantages of both and I like variety in my riding so I think I’ll have at least one of each for the foreeable future.

Mmmm, rules for inclusion in the tally = definite purchases only. No, “I’m thinking of getting xxxx in the next few months”

But feel free to tell us all anyway 🙂

bandit 26er

Almost finished building up a Hustler I got in the CRC sales.

My first MTB,Vitus Rapide 1 2012. Only wanted 26’s (plenty big enough for me).

My other 2 bikes have 28’s and 20’s (beach cruiser and Minivelo)

My newest bike is a 26″ Dekerf which I bought after selling a titanium 29er.

I still have a Kona Unit 29er which I use for general messing around and cycling to work.

After numerous miles on both 26″ and 29″ bikes though, any future bikes will be 26″.

The MDE has already been ordered, so that must count. The Cotic isn’t thinking of getting, it’s am getting, so that’s to your discretion.

6 months – 29er HT
12 months – 29er FS

Last one was a 20″ BMX in July.

26er 2012 On-one Inbred, replaced ageing Kona Koa

A 26″ cotic soul and 26″ trek session bought at the end of 2012. Am now broke!

26 fs in June
700c in Aug
26 HT in Dec
buying a 29er next week

😆

26 full suss

Haven’t bought an MTB in a long time (though I’ve wanted to, still riding the ones I’ve loved for years).

Last purchase was 700c… A Carbon Road bike. Replaced an ally road bike.

Quite fancy a 29er again (not to replace anything, to complement my existing 26″ wheeled bikes), but really thinking a CX bike (so another 700c) would make a lot of sense for a lot of my riding.
