• Started mountain biking recently and got the bug instantly!

    Picked up this 26inch Mtb locally and I’m loving it. Anybody else still riding 26inch? Or has everyone moved to larger wheeled machines?

    Also this is first bike with fancy brakes (hydro disk) , I’m very much looking forward to its first service in a week or two.

  • Anybody else still riding 26inch?

    I am, because I'm also a poor man. I have the height and ride profile to go 29er, but not the money to replace a perfectly functional 26" bike. As the Turkish mustelid says, if you're not racing the difference is immaterial, the only slight drawback with 26" at the moment is that if you ever want to upgrade wheels and tyres the choices are rather restricted.

  • Yes I did notice the selection of tires to be a bit limited but I got a pair of road tires and maxis dominions when buying so I’m set for the relative future!

    Wheels I don’t think I’ll every upgrade, Mtb is heavy but have a 9x3 so granny gear uphill and extra weight is fun for downhill.
