Pinkbike Poll: Which 2026 Tech Trends Do You Think Are Gimmicks?
32" for gravel makes sense. For XC, marathon and bike packing it might also have some uses.
For anything beyond about 130mm travel I think 32" is a fad. You get a little more rollover but at what cost? I can think of a very long list of negatives.
Gravity bikes are already settling on a 27.5 rear wheel because 29" has quite a few disadvantages in the rear (bottom out clearance, ass buzz etc)
The market is asking for a lot of things and 32" wheels above 130 travel is not one of them in my experience

Pinkbike Poll: Which 2026 Tech Trends Do You Think Are Gimmicks?
The biggest benefit I've felt with them is feeling like on a fire road or mellow(er) bit of trail I can loosen my grip and rest my fingers without feeling like there's any danger my hands will blow off the bars. If you're riding a long track it's worth a lot to feel like you can safely rest your fingers for a few seconds.

BikeStow Launches the Storm: A $749 Freestanding Bike Rack for Truck Beds
100% agree
People complain like they're being forced to buy this stuff... If you don't want or need it don't buy it lmao
Bikestow racks are super popular in the UK (and getting popular in Europe) for vans. In the US people use trucks a lot more than vans and some people have been using Bikestows in truck beds already.
Bikestow produce a waterproof version to better address this market (which does have some benefits)...
People in the comments then flip out lmao
