What Do World Cup XC Athletes Really Think About 32" Wheels?
@IntoTheEverflow: I was listening to a podcaster who stated that statistically the average adult height globally is 5'4" which means that the average person should be riding a small to extra small frame and people on small frames are more likely to have issues with toe overlap, fit, etc. So the industry is alreay selling products that are biased towards the taller rider. Maybe that makes sense because the majority of their customers are above average height males of european descent. But it certainly doesn't appear that they are trying to manufacture products that fit the average person globally.

I don't care if racers ride 32" wheels, but if the industry starts filtering it down to recreationists and - worse - road and gravel cyclists I'll be super pissed. If I was under 5'4" tall I'd be even angrier as small cyclists are already struggling to find frames that fit them properly.
