    Is this mtbr now?

    Everyone is making a big stink about 650b because Nino Schurter won a 2012 UCI Cross Country race on a prototype Scott with 650b wheels. So now everyone is like "OMG is 650b the future?!". Some manufacturers will capitalize on the success and sell a few 650b bikes, but as usual it comes to down to personal preference. My humble opinion is that Schurter would have won the race if he was on a 26er or 29er. He beat the next guy by 11 seconds. He obviously has been training his bum off!

    Agreed. Training and is a genetic freak helps too.

    maybe we should bring back 26 X 1-3/8" too. Both Schwinn and everyone elses. Two different sizes BTW. ERD of 590 and 597. 650b is 584.
    ANYTHING can be fixed...how badly do you want it?
