St.Bernardo Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Just a fad. Another way for the bike industry to separate money from people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack_turtle Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 not sure about this for average sized folks, but I can totally see this making sense for people who need XXXL frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockshins Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I am not sure if this will catch on but I thought 29ers were silly. I am large human being that is on a 515mm reach bike that is too small. Have to run 75mm rise bars to get the handlebars to a reasonable height for me. So maybe this makes sense for someone like me? At least a mullet option with a 29” rear. Maxxis is producing tires and rim manufacturers are making rims. Apparently 4 World Cup XC teams are testing this season according to Pinkbike.

TheX Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 I have to admit, I became a huge AXS fanboy after the first ride. Oh, yeah...I ride a 29/27.5 mullet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cafeend Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 @RedRider3141 So no dropper for you ? I thought I was the only one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Bernardo Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I'm there with you both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider3141 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Well... maybe I misinterpreted. No Electric Remote Dropper. 50% of my cable actuated dropper use is for stopping on flat ground with my short legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
