27,5" alt. 29" ?????
Jag tycker Jared Graves sammanfattade det bra...
"Enduro: What’s your current thinking on wheel size? Have you been working much with 650b and have you found any significant benefits for your style of riding?
I’ve been trying some 650b prototype stuff, I really like it, but it’s not a game changer like people say! I do think it’s probably a bit faster for the majority of trails (but definitely not all) but it’s not going to completely transform your riding! The wheel size debate is blown so far out of proportion it’s not funny. A good rider will be able to ride any wheel size fast. At the end of the day it comes down to what you enjoy, and that’s all it should be about. Some people like how a 29er smoothes a trail out and gives a more forgiving ride, other people love how they can throw a 26 around, and love how it makes you really work the trail to maintain your speed. I think 26 inch wheels make better/more skilled riders, and are more fun! All have their positive and negative points; it should be all about personal preference and how you like to ride, and nothing more. People arguing about what’s better is pointless, everyone likes different things."
