650 B does sound really cool. You think they will still make tires in two years? or anything else for that matter?

Yeah, I wish I could, but 29ers in my country are still very rare and since the average size of people in my country are small (it’s hard to find a frame size 19″ up, easier to find sizes 15-16″) 29ers are not that much of a demand.. importers are only importing the expensive ones 🙁

Dude I think you’re missing the point. The argument you seem to be making is akin to saying that a point guard doesn’t play the same game as a center or that a welter weight can’t handle a heavy weight. Just because you don’t appreciate the game that the niner has doesn’t mean it doesn’t hold its own in its’ own world. there’s more than one way to ride a trail. It’s accepted that a standard 26 has its’ advantages but there are alternate advantages to a 29.

Man I love how dialed the headeset/stem looks on these niners. I feel like I should slam my stem and go b*ners down just to feel faster!

Just get over the 29er BS Specialized. you’re creating more enemies with this tacky marketing of 29″. Oh and they’ll never accelerate like a 26″ because the wheels are 100g+ each heavier. AND 29″ hasn’t won a mens World Cup XC race in 2012…. Nino has tested wattage/time on all wheel sizes and 650b had the best performance so please just STFU.
