just came back from reading it.
had some good names commenting on 29's viability in DH.
frmae news:
seems the designers that arn't working on one thought it would be
a nightmane geo wise. but lance, intense and I can't wait for a real
tire to get the ball rolling. some sus designs just don't have room for
29's rear w/o having long c/s which only makes the bikes slower turning. i am using 16.25 with 29 rear and makes for a plenty quick bike.
tire news:
intense said they could make a tire for dh.
Lot of people said the wheels weight would be too much for quick
handling. yeah, it would if they use DH casing 2.5 1800g tire.
that will only hurt 29's in dh. we need a fr casing 2.5 not over 1000g.
wheels news:
a lot of people were conserned with wheels strenght. at the print time
I had yet to make my dishless wheels or would have mentioned that.
overview:
I would say it was
25% 29's
25% 69's
50% 26's
better than i thought it might be.
