“I don’t think the higher end MTB market will support three wheel standards for long
Oh really? Every manufacturer is going the same way 29ers for Hardtail and XC 605b for intermediate full suss so that everything from 120-160mm travel, and 26″ for full on gravity bikes.
26″ wheels aren’t going to disappear, they’ll just get their own niche. And meanwhile back in the UK well still be riding LTHT’s and the rest if the world ( bar the Canadians who also “get it”) will look on like an indulgent parent and when they think we’re not looking, will do that twirling the finger around the side of your head sign….”
Thanks for the “Canadians” comment !!! My wife and I still ride 26″ bikes, all five of them !!!
