A frame in my size with 26" wheels looks hilarious.
That's why I love the wheel debate.
Bikes aren't cars.
You are going to tell someone who is 4'10" and 90lbs that 29" or 27.5" wheels are definitively better?
You are going to tell someone 6'10" and 300lbs that nothing is as fun as a 26"?
Kids always ride smaller wheels. On when you hit the transition between those wheel sizes, that's personal preference if you like bigger or smaller wheels relative to your size. |
I have a buddy who is 6'7". He finally found a bike that fit him a couple of years ago. A XL niner RIP 9 Carbon. He loves that bike, and it looks normal with him on it. When you ride beside him though, it's kinda freaky cause he just towers over me.
