After an impressive collection of results on 29-inch wheels in 2009, the Subaru-Gary Fisher Mountain Bike Team will go “all 29, all the time” in 2010.


Getting all the riders on the team onto big wheels “was a meandering process” that started last season, according to Travis Ott, Gary Fisher brand manager. Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski won the national cross-country and marathon championships, as well as the inaugural Pro XCT, on Fisher’s Superfly. Sam Schultz, meanwhile, was a 29er convert as well.


“For them, 2009 was about incorporating 29er full-suspension into their quiver,” said Ott. “Both [riders] found advantages in the Superfly 100 under certain circumstances.”


For his part, Horgan-Kobelski said he didn’t have a 26-inch bike built for 2009.


“Even in 2008, I only raced a few races in the first half of the year on the 26-inch bike,” he said. “So it’s already been a year and a half of full-time 29er riding for me. I don’t even own any 26-inch mountain bikes.”
