reading between the lines ("got mine for packin" and "guys with forks") it sounds like he's talking about rigid bikes

Sounds like he's talking about a 29+ unicycle.

I think Trek are the only big company making 29+.

They make little sense to me unless you want a mile munching gate. 650b+ on the other hand is more fun than a supermodel swingers club.

I demo'd a Stache at Crankworx this year and I was completely underwhelmed by it on anything but quasi-rough and twisty singletrack. It definitely had good floatation and amazing grip but boy was it horribly sluggish on the ups and flats. It was even worse in fast corners where the low tire pressure bounced and squirmed like crazy. No thanks.

I'm super curious about all these trends. I'll check back in a couple years to see if any of them are worth a single shit.
