You misunderstood me Michael - and implied things I didn't say. I've heard of
this physics you speak of, and I'm in favour of it - but I didn't deny
anything. Maybe have a look above if you doubt me. What I said, in less
detail, was that I have spent a lot of time on 650 and I've never been able to
notice excess flex when compared to 26 - even in back to back testing. Other
factors are noticeable to me - but not excess flex. Have you ridden a 650
bikes or are you talking about 29? Which ones? Maybe you have more experience
on them than I do.
You also seem to be implying that I would welcome the demise of 26, but that's
not true either. I only own 26″ bikes - and I'm not planning on selling any of
them. On the contrary I have lamented the exodus from 26 publicly.
Have you tried the Schwalbe Magic Mary? A lot of riders I respect are raving
about it. And it's available in 26 as well.
Green trails? Road? Cold dude, very cold.
