SpyderRyder

(Full disclosure, I have a 26 Scott genius lt 10 2011) first off I want to say, due to the fact that I am a more casual, as opposed to a competitive rider, the beginning and end is having fun on a bike. To be fair I can see how JHK ould want to ride a 29er as they roll better, etc, but for me, mtbing has been about having the most amount of fun I can have. In honesty I am a 26er, because that is what I came up on and I ride for fun, not for competition. 4-5 years from now, when my genius lt is in its last wheels, I will objectively test a 26 (which will still be around) and a 27.5 and see which one is funner, because at the end of the day, THAT is what drives sales and what 90% of riders are looking for, not to shave 9 seconds off their favorite runs. I do not believe the 26er is on its last wheels, but I welcome the 27.5 and even the 29ers, as progress and change is difficult to say the least and in the end the best will win out.
