Not sure your physics is correct on carbon propensity to crack lol. But yeah, wheels have more traction and less rolling resistance nowadays. Was unlikely to evolve in the other direction no?? ;)
After the beginning of the 29er hype, i've seen so many riders going mullet. Myself i tried several times 29 inch bikes but the inertia of those heavier wheels are like bullet and chains, no thanks! For me a full 27.5 is the way to have excitment and performance. By the way i'm nearly 48 years old. 😉
Yep, bikes of old were way better. I still have my 26ers, so much for them falling apart after a few miles eh!., dont want this garbage 29er with carbon. wont fit in the back of the car for a start, not to mention problems lifting them over the fences, and across streams, and throwing them over your shoulder to scramble up a rock climb section out on trails. Only prob I have is getting parts, as bearings dont last forever.
@@vwgtiron ruclips.net/video/Aj09wIQbXnM/видео.html This is several ways with a suspension bike with big wheels, that work, but not in tight spaces such as going up a narrow path with a drop to one side and cliff face on the other. The other more original method is to put your arm through the front front triangle, and top tube where it meets the seat tube goes on your shoulder. you then hold the bike forward by resting hand on the stem, this way bike is facing the direction you are going, and you can navigate tight rails. Nobody does this anymore, for some unknown reason, maybe it has been forgotten in time, but is by far the easiest way to carry a bike as you can have one or both of your arms free to scramble up a rock.

Someone should tell the carbon fibre frames that they are not prone to cracking and failing. They don’t seem to have received the message

Is it me or does he sound more and more like that David Attenborough 😂
Carbon is more prone to cracking than aluminium 🤔 29 is not for me with 5'9 body height except on my XC bike
@@saiiiiiii1 I'm 5'7 and I still ride my 26" 🤷🏻♂️
When I'm upgrading 27,5" is the MAX !
I look AND FEEL like an Ant on a 29" MTB 😅
@FixedundFertig I swear I'm in love with my XC MTB on 29ers. Rolls so nicely
The bars are way too wide.
@@CogMarks definitely not suited for everybody. Can just hope shops keep an eye out for customers and cut the bars if they are too wide

@garethhughes5745 my 29er weighs less than 30 lb, I'm 52 years old and I have no problem hiking it up the mountain.
