Back to the mud
We had a very wet morning, with hard rain, so we returned to our favourite winter trail

awesome vid man, still green and soaking the sun !!!...you guys are on to something by going back to a differential Wheel size...after reading this article www.pinkbike.com/news/Liteville-601-Frame-Interbike-2013.html I'm still wondering why more companies are not rethinking their whole sizing packages....just like a moto, it makes perfect sense to ride a smaller diameter Wheel at the back for faster acceleration and a taller Wheel up front for cornering traction and better roll over....but what still kills me the most is the fact that it doesn't matter what size you are, everybody's on the same size wheels and it make no sense really...

I was pretty surprised to see that news bro...I never thought they would go back to different wheel sizes. It makes sense, I guess. I have no complains about my Big Hit. The bike is really fast and heavy the way I like it. It's like motocross. Who knows? Maybe it will became a trend again...as long as it's made for us and not for the "Industry" (makes me angry when the "Industry" says that 26" wheels are dead...)

nah bro, 26'' will not disappear anytime soon, we just have more variety and choices now, that's all,,,although it seems like smaller wheels will find their niche segment on more technical trails...I fucking hate trends and always try not to get caught but from personnal experience and from the input I received from riders on big wheels, it seems really obvious that big, tall and strong riders will feel immediately at home on a 29''er and will get the most performance out of them...Nino Schurter is definitely much shorter than most top XC riders and he prefers the smaller 27.5'' wheels and we all know it works great for him...it would make sense that more companies like Liteville include that factor into their sizing charts...

not dead at all, I think this Felt is pretty hot and would make a nice enduro bike with a 170-180mm fork... www.pinkbike.com/news/Felt-Compulsion-LT50-Tested-2013.html

But that's what I mean...29ers have their one place, but so do 26ers bro...that Felt is amazing!

absolutely bro, even though I love my big wheels with light tire setup for certain type of trails, I know full well they could never withstand the big trail duties...how was your time spent on the Meta like ???...

Up until 01:20, I thought it was me following you! Kept thinking: "the Big Hit has really improved my riding style and technique!" Oh, the sour taste of disapointment

Hahaha, back to the mud, back to 24" rear wheels, are you going backwards, Paulo and Ricardo? I don't think so!
