A few hours mountain climbing turns a rogue and a saint into two roughly equal creatures. Weariness is the shortest path to equality and fraternity—and liberty is finally added by sleep. —Nietzsche

I might just make a few of these if I get enough orders
Really, it's become a bit like born-agains preachin' to the converted. Who ever thought it would come to this ?
And, no, I'm not suggesting that 29 inches is anything like a religion....except maybe for the oh my god bit at the end.
Amen. I recently had a guy (riding his new 29r) ask me "did that bike come with 29 inch wheels or did you just fit them to an old* 26 inch frame?" Only because I'm a nice guy did I refrain from telling him that they were actually 26 inch wheels, just over-pumped. He must have done quite some research before his purchase.
@Shane: You get three of her with every T-shirt ordered, paid for and collected in Prince Albert, Western Cape. I know that might just make you think of a serious 180 degree detour ;) Keep the rubber side down.
I am NOT a MTBer, but I have ridden both 26s and 29s. No contest. 29.
ReplyDeleteAmen.
