For starters, I think its too early too get upset about the introduction of
new wheel standards. Also, we may not be giving the average mountain biker
enough credit for how they spend their money.
650b bikes , (I think as I don't own one yet), provided a lot of riders with a
better fit and feel. Also, the average 6″ 650b bike seems well suited for the
majority of trails that are being build now a days. (ie: Severed D, Expresso,
Pipeline etc) Anyways, all I'm saying is that the 650b thing was legit. The
industry didn't pick it. We did.
27+ and 29+ seem to aim towards giving your average trail bike a fat bike
feel. Will it take off? who knows. Seems more like a niche market to me.
