I don't get. Why do we need another size?
for whichever.Oh and Lord Opie are you talking about 650b for road or trail duty?
he would be in heaven talking with bike reps and trying every bike in sight!!!MMcG needs to get to the Bike-Festival-Formerly-Known-As-Pedro's in 2008.
i'm with you. the worst is when they mix sizes on bikes (69er, 29/650b).I don't get. Why do we need another size?
A folding Bike Friday?real men ride 29ers, 650 is for bisexuals, and 26 is for the ghays and midgets. Hmm, I wonder what ghay midgets ride??
The biggest annoyance for me is all the wheels in my garage. But now that you mention the mixing... that means you have to carry at least two different size tubes. And if you plan on going for great distance, twice the spokes, twice the tires.i'm with you. the worst is when they mix sizes on bikes (69er, 29/650b).
yep, that's what i'm talking about. unnecessarily complicated.A folding Bike Friday?

Some NE monkeys, MMcG included, should see about finding their way to the Interbike Outdoor Demo to be held in Providence, RI in October to handle press coverage for RM. It's industry only of course but there are ways.he would be in heaven talking with bike reps and trying every bike in sight!!!
NICE. Being a shop employee counts as industry, right?Some NE monkeys, MMcG included, should see about finding their way to the Interbike Outdoor Demo to be held in Providence, RI in October to handle press coverage for RM. It's industry only of course but there are ways.
I want a bike that can change wheel size on the fly. All these bikes with fixed wheel size are so 2001.In the future we will be riding bikes with continuously variable wheel diameters that will optimize themselves for momentary BB height, rolling resistance, OTB resistance, cornering and acceleration requirements. Fixed wheel bikes wil strictly l be the domain of urban hipsters.

He's just a closet 29er fanatic and he doesn't realize it! See!splat- why all the hate on 29ers?
Controlled with a handlebar remote, I assume?I want a bike that can change wheel size on the fly. All these bikes with fixed wheel size are so 2001.
Screw that.31.5 is going to be where it's at. Book it.
Yeah but I want to be able to adjust both diameter and width.Controlled with a handlebar remote, I assume?
He's a whore. He'll try anything if the demo is free.He's just a closet 29er fanatic and he doesn't realize it! See!
Free is the way to goHe's a whore. He'll try anything if the demo is free.
Yeah, and seeing as a 36er has already been done, he needs to go the next step.I say MMcG should make a 40er, 29/69er/650B/7.59er is too mainstream now.
27.5" tire/ wheel. Between a 29er and a 26er.excuse me for being stupid...But...What is a 650b tire? I see it all over the place but I never know what people are talking about.
You are right, even mountain unicycles are too common these day - screw wheels! Damn my weak kneesNo way man, it's all too mainstream. Give me a pair of trail running shoes and I'LL KEEP IT REAL!
I think Surly has that covered with the Pugsley.Yeah, and seeing as a 36er has already been done, he needs to go the next step.
