Adidas Release Updated Freerider Line with Three Stripes Branding & Clipless Model
Chavtastic. Look like they should be worn with a grey tracksuit while you hang round a town centre McDonalds.

'It's Another Way of Riding' - Filippo Colombo's First Impressions of the Scott Spark 32" Prototype
@dthomp325: Bigger frames make sense for taller people. I can’t really see why bigger wheels are necessary unless purely for aesthetic reasons.

'It's Another Way of Riding' - Filippo Colombo's First Impressions of the Scott Spark 32" Prototype
This is what everyone says so far but no one mentions how they jump or how they handle steep terrain and things like low speed drops when your arse is going to hit the rear wheel unless you’re 6ft. 4 +

But what are they like on drops/steep tech/jumps? And how tall are you?

Trek Factory Racing Show Evie Richards Riding New 32" XC Bike
@Cloxxki007: In everything but XC smaller riders are on mullets. In DH everyone is on mullets. I think that tells you something.

32" Wheels Claim First Title at the 2026 XC Marathon World Championships
@HankHank: Is there really more grip? I’ve never seen any evidence to back this up and my own experience moving from 27.5 to 29 is that it made no significant difference to how fast I could go round corners.
By the way people spoke about 29ers you’d have thought that they’d corner like you’re on rails - the reality was disappointing, which is why I take these unverified claims with a pinch of salt.

Schwalbe Romy Tire Review: Impressive Comfort Without Sacrificing Speed
I’ve run Schwabe radials for a while now and I’m not really sure if they’re any better than a standard cross ply.
One thing I have found is that unless I run the rear gravity casing Albert at much higher pressure than normal it can burp air then won’t seal without a canister type pump being used. No other tyre has behaved like this.

First Ride: Atherton A.150 M - Titanium Lugs, Carbon Tubes, & 22 Sizes
@LM-CZ: weight is pretty much all related to build - the frame is only 300g heavier than equivalent competitors (or is that too much for you?!)
