Schwalbe, Maxxis, Continental, Reserve, and WTB Respond to 30.5" Wheel Rumors
@KolaPanda: It's so easy to fix and yet the industry insists on this. Sounds pretty stupid to me.

Schwalbe, Maxxis, Continental, Reserve, and WTB Respond to 30.5" Wheel Rumors
@KolaPanda: Why have those stupid common names at all?
A 27.5x2.5 tyre measures 28.1in or 715mm.
A 700c x30mm comes just over 26 inches.
Might as well just call the wheel size the ACTUAL rim diameter.
I black out all those common names off my tyres and just use mm or actual inches to talk about wheel size.
By the way mtb "loam" isn't actually loam but just organic top soil.

Analysis: The Chainstay Length Debate Has Been Resolved (According to Pinkbike Readers)
@IluvRIDING: I bought a Nicolai G1 in 2020. I ordered it with 442mm CS. Front end grip was rubbish on flat terrain. I ended up going up to 453mm, then 462mm and now with a longer chainstay and chainstay mutators I'm up to 474mm. The bike just kept getting better. I've now ordered a custom Egerie with 500mm chainstays.
