The Pinkbike Podcast: Why Did Our Bikes Get So Big?
This question seems to come up periodically along with, “how did our bikes get so heavy?” Nobody was asking this before everything was 29”. 27.5 bikes rode great in 2017-2018-2019. My process 153 had I believe 475 reach, was plenty slack (65 or so), and weighed 33lbs. I could take it on a trail ride, take it through a legit rhythm, send it. It did it all pretty well. It’s odd (to me) that this question is still being asked, as if nobody knows.
29” wheels made everything bigger, longer and heavier. And they suck to pass down to younger riders. Kids trying to jump wagonwheel bikes is great for FF but that’s about it. It’s just an easier bike to ride if you aren’t a very good rider, and that’s the target demographic now, people with $$ that suck. The two really are almost mutually exclusive. I only know one dentist that rips.

No, standard Canadian homeowner insurance clearly states roof take-offs are permitted within coverage, they just don’t allow roof landings anymore unless it’s a step-up.

Can always go the Alaskan route, even make your own.. but if the tree is good sized you don’t need one.

@reecewallace: The song sure was a banger. I used to jazzercise, sure wish I could’ve jazzercised to it. That song probably could’ve single-handedly saved jazzercise..

@PtDiddy: His bike is definitely “form follows function”. If most people followed that philosophy they’d be on wagonwheels and demand snack storage. Oh wait they already are!

Cornering for one, the pegs would need to be spaced for stability so they’d be digging in when leaned on flatter corners
