If we do what we always have done we will get the same results. Try changing some things see what happens, maybe we will end up with something that works. Just keep doing the same and you will never know.
While I appreciate your positivity, I don’t think you can really look at the whole 27.5 thing as some sort of grand, philanthropic experiment by the bicycle industry. It’s quite clearly a cynical marketing driven exercise in obsolescence, inspired by the success of 29ers (which I think a few of them were slightly surprised by TBH) which isn’t all that odd really.
Perhaps we’ve had it a bit too good for a bit too long, other markets have this sort of thing, planned obsolescence is just part of how the capitalist in charge keep their business ticking over…
They didn’t do it out of the goodness of their hearts or help make bicycles in some way better.
don’t confuse change with progress or improvement, 27.5 wheels are just change, not appreciably better or worse than 26″ just newer…
