In the future ... We will wheel size will be as important as frame siZe when selling bikes 5'5 - 5'8 26 / 5'9 - 6' (650b 27.5) 6+ 29r (of course for xc / all mtn ... As big travel & huge hoops dont mix super well) But it will be intereseting to try slightly taller front wheel for dh Its evolution Get used to it! I do agree it seems lately that shit changes ( like the explosion of headset/ bb / axle standards lately) Just for the sake of change Its very tricky to maintain replacement parts And its crazy to tell customers that their 2 year old bike is completly out of date

They bankrupt tring todo motocross bikes Way ahead of their time Yamaha just Introduced cannondales " airbox in the front" concept this year Too bad So close but no cigar
