I have a 27.5 and of course 2 Frankenbike 27.5/26 rear bikes and a 29er. The 27.5' IMO are about 10% easier on the climbs, 20% more confident on the downhills. An all-around winner. The 29er is 0% easier on the climbs, 30% faster on the straights and 20% more confident on the downhills except...

I may join you, I can't find a decent paying job here>>>pay ratio to cost of living. So Cal has seen better times.

That guy was lucky to know that animals fear danger, he kept upright and didn't start running away. Although Cougars are felines, canines have the same behavior patterns if you come across a nasty dog, rogue coyote or a drunk lady at your bar. I had a situation hiking in Mammoth a few years ago...

So I went to get a tube from my LBS, Montrose Bike. & found they're having a sale on the 2015 Konas. The one I want is only $3,000 marked down from $3700. Right. I have $3,000. But wait!!!! These $3,000 Process ones have the 1x11 (ca-ching!) And boy are they nice. And I am a fan of the 27.5...

It was a time when the 26er as we knew it, would last forever...an exciting time when indie guys drew up plans and implemented the era of full suspension bikes, though most were on hard tails and loving it. Bars ends were a must. Mis matched tires, be it a black wall or gum ugly tan, stupid long...

Here's what I did to lower my less than getting a flu shot enthusiasm away from my 26er dinosaur. I strung up a 650b WTB rim and American Classic 20mm hub & bolted it onto a XC/Trail White Bros 650B fork. Now this wasn't easy to find because nowadays most 27.5 forks are tapered and of course...

I was at Montrose Bike (in Montrose) and finally bought a Park stand for wrenching. I asked the sales guy about 26er's and he said they have one in stock---..."a Rockhopper, if some kid wants to get into biking" I asked, kid? He said. "Yeah, you know sometimes parents just buy their 9 or 10 yr...

Wow Ted I thought you were just maybe going to get a Specialized something or another, that 27.5 will be probably be a very nice bike to ride on warm days since its super light. Nice choice.

Was talking to a kid who's on the mountain biking team at La Canada High School. Not to further throw a dagger on the 26, but they all either have a 27.5 for all mountain fun or race on their carbon fiber 29er's. I asked if a carbon 26er could compete on a XC race, looked at me like he never...

You know, with 1,000's, perhaps 100's of thousands of world-wide refugees fleeing to greener pastures, uncontrolled wild fires, domestic shootings, global warming, water shortages, corporate greed going out of control, the presidential candidates being a hot mess, the economy being in the sh*t...

Its sad the 26er has gone the way to: (part II) Low end manual laborers who bike to work in China That lady who lives down the street with that faded 1997 mini van Neglected in garages of former big time enthusiasts that used to be seen shopping at The Bike Co in 1999-05 Yangpei Poor people who...

Its sad the 26er has gone the way to: bottle & can collectors strand/beach riders who don't give a sh*t old people who don't know any better retro mtn riders who had children and now ready to ride again gang members cheap people who still think that their 26er is still worth what they paid for...
