Yep good point.
What I meant was that possibly as more standards get introduced to the market,
a major consumer trend may be harder to nail down. 29+ and 27+ seem more
geared towards niche riding than trying to revolutionize the industry. So
unless most riders want their 6″ AM bikes to have a fat bike feel, these wheel
sizes will merely present themselves as options when perusing the buy and sell
on pinkbike. Or maybe the whole thing will flop and go away
Bear in mind, I do believe that consumers decided that 650b was legit and
provided a better fit and feel for many riders. Which is why the industry went
that way.
Adjustable rear axle on the other hand could be interesting to watch in the
future.
