The 27.5" Front Wheel Is Dead And I'm More OK With That Than I Ever Thought I Would Be

@cwatt: Its click bait, not rage bait, and it's clearly worked... Look at the engagement and debates it's generated!

The 27.5" Front Wheel Is Dead And I'm More OK With That Than I Ever Thought I Would Be

@lelandjt: I'm sorry, but i didn't. It's all about geometry. Her statement is true, as is yours, but they are not mutually exclusive.

She's right though, it's not the wheel size specifically that dictates that, it's the bike geometry. That being said, having bigger wheels allows that geometry to be more flexible relating to your COG comparative to the axles if you are taller. So, she's not wrong and neither are you!

Which Full-Power 2026 eMTB Is Best? Here Are the 6 Contenders

This is exactly what happened to me, tried one and now I'm a convert - worth noting I do do normal mtb rides too, but the eeb is perfect for a summer's evening or when time is tight. They do have their place, but a normal MTB is much more fun to descend on, and much more lively. There's no doubting that! Also, regarding affordability - get a second hand one, i did and i don't regret it at all.

BOS Idylle Rare FCV 27.5"

$400 GBP

BOS Idylle Rare FCV forks taken from a YT Tues CF No idea how to price these as there are none for sale on PB in the whole world! (So please feel free to send me an offer). 155mm long steerer tube Some damage to the lowers, but only paint/decals. The stanchions are immaculate. A very well respected and excellent performing set of downhill forks. When new, these retailed for £2,350, 10 years ago! These are very fiddly to set up, but when you crack it, they're insanely capable. Only changed because I prefer the feel of fox 40s. Details from BOS: Travel: 208mm Wheel Size: 27.5" Spring: Air Disc Mount: Post 180mm Axle Configuration: 20x110mm Bolt On Max Rotor Size: 203mm Crown Material: 7075 Aluminum Lowers Material: Magnesium Stanchions: 7075 Aluminum Intended Use: Downhill

Transition Patrol Carbon- warranty replacement

$800 GBP

2016 Transition Patrol Carbon frame Rockshox monarch RC3+ debonair shock 155mm travel Suitable for 160mm forks Tapered headset and 68/73mm BB needed. Internal routing for gears, rear brake and dropper. Really good vibe to ride, handles excellently as all the reviews say, it's been the frame I've owned longest from all my bikes and is truly excellent. BRAND NEW front triangle, not even had headset bearings put in as can be seen in the pictures. I spotted a hairline crack around the BB so got a new front triangle but then didn't swap them out in the end. I've now got a forbidden druid so no longer ride this. Rear end is well used but mechanically sound, all new bearings fitted in the last 100 miles. Any questions please let me know Tom
