Looks like a blast. That park is pretty sick
I came here to bitch about the lack of 26” wheels only to find several others beat me to it. I’ll just see my happy little self out.
Looks like a great time. Congrats on your new closet.
Are there any pros that ride 26" competitively anymore
@@MB-jz3uu I have absolutely no idea. I just like 26” bikes.
@@MB-jz3uu Depends on discipline. Four Cross still sees 26ers. I'm guessing dirt jump as well. The major gravity races though have all mostly not only ditched 26", but 27.5 as well. At least for the front. Some role mullets.
26 for life.
Yeah, I was in a BMX bubble for 15 years and just found out 26" are gone, I actually used to commute on a 26" MTB with 1" slicks, and apparently some long distance touring bikes use 26" So you could say it's the most versatile wheel size: the same bike could be a decent MTB or a touring bike with just a change of tires.
Big time
@@davetbassbos People tour on 26" because the thought was that you could find them everywhere in 3rd world countries if something happened on the road. That's largely no longer true (and frankly, never really was the case outside of Africa). Most touring bikes have moved to 27.5 or 700. Which is good because they are superior sizes and the rise of gravel bikes means they are proliferating around the globe.
@@cjohnson3836 I do remember seeing that somewhere, and I guess that was the reason for canti brakes and friction shifters too. Not to put you on the spot but just guessing how much more efficient would a 700 be then a 26" given the same rugged touring tires, say 1"? Cheers!
@@davetbassbos [Assuming same tire width] 700c would be less efficient in towns with stopping and starting and changing speeds. More efficient on open stretches where the greater rotating inertia helps keep the wheels rolling. More efficient at slow speeds in rough roads/off road due to better angle of incidence with rocks and such. Although, smaller wheels does mean you have a functional pedal resistance of a lower gear. So, you need to choose the drive train to match the wheels. So, larger wheels means you need a bigger cog in the back. Really though, the assumption of same tire width is a flawed one. As smaller diameter usually allows for more width. I don't know what the data would say, but I would guess something around 27.5x2" is probably the best for general all conditions/all-road tire for touring. Something like a Schwalbe Almotion. But, we aren't riding on steel rims anymore. Modern materials are great. And a 29x2", at least in my opinion, is probably the best if ignoring remote replacement considerations. Eventually 700c/29 will win out, I predict. Look at bikes now; Kona Sutra-700x40, Surly Disc Trucker-700 and 26 option, Koga Worldtraveler-27.5 or 28 (confusingly, the same thing as 29" in this case). Basically, ISO 622 is the way of the future.
I'm so glad you got the chance to experience this!
29er's rule! 🤘
That’s why you just go crazy and choose 27.5+… it is fun, it is a bit much, it is wonderful on sand, and it is pretty good with snow. I really really want more gearing though since 28-36 is nooooot enough.
Also, I love the fun you bring to MTB videos. Just makes me wanna go ride immediately since MTB’s are just supposed to be ridiculous and fun.
27.5+ is dead.
Looks like a marathon in-out trip but was great fun to watch!!! We all need something like this from time to time!
Glad you enjoyed it! Hall is a fun place. If you need to do more research here in CO let me know! HAHA
Should have snuck a spindatt sticker on the yeti!
So cool to see you in my neck of the woods. Great riding and super fun to watch as usual. Looking forward to your garage build!
27.5+ is the best, can always go fat tire to get the same roll over distance as a 29er, Personally I like 27.5 x 2.6 the best
Hey man sick video! Was great meeting you at the TPC HQ the other day, bummed I couldn’t join the ride! Next time you find yourself out here let’s go for a rip 🤘🏼🤘🏼
That looked like a good day😃
Yea, 26er is the true bmx of mountain bikes Mr. Spindatt. Don’t give me this “well the selection is limited” bs. What would Gary Fisher do? He’d ride a 1950s Schwinn with no suspension and 26 inch tires and have just as much fun. Maybe.
24 is the true bmx of mountain bikes. It's what the downhill and tmx urban crowd rode as well
@@FirstnameLastname-pe5ib maybe 26 works for bigger folks.
@@aaronlitchfield1268 It all works
@@FirstnameLastname-pe5ib Nothing Works! Lol.
What??? no 26er? :(
26er4life
26 is dead. Or, that is the way it currently seems. I just bought an old mtn bike frame to restore for my son only to discover that there are few options for 26" wheels.
@@DaveCM you can get some pretty slick wheels if you build them yourself. The rim selection runs slim, and Complete wheels are even fewer. But if you’re willing to wheelbuild you could have yourself a really solid set.
Watch the Sam Hill interview on 26" wheels
Looks great fun....Nice one Eric as always
Awesome little series:)!!
this is definitely the best way to compare wheel sizes. its got me grinning like a moron and i love it
because the everything is made up and the points dont matter.
29er full sus. Mullet hardtail. 👌🏻 I’m enjoying it.
Choose what you like. Smaller riders probably better with smaller wheels. Mostly it's a marketing strategy to sell us something different. I would have been fine with 700c rims with big tires. You can't blame Gary Fisher, Keith Bontrager, John Tomac, et al. They definitely got paid. At least smaller riders got an option, and now 24 inch MTB. The non scientific approach works here because choice depends on conditions and personal preferences. Great video!
Killer man!…looks so fun!…😎
oof mate, i didn't belive it enough when you start to work on the bikepark but looking this video now i had to change my mind, great work!
😂
do you think they will let you ride the yeti that you show in the other video?
Omfg I love the Evo so much. It is the best do it all bike.
That 5010 sounds as clapped out as the Felt!
Had 26. Upgraded to 29. Went back to 26.
I have a 29er and 26er full suspension. I go faster on the 26. I can accelerate quicker out of turns....
You’re right. The torque is a bit more immediate on the small wheels. 26ers are underrated.
Nice intro
ID on Caleb's car? Looking for a sedan/hatch that can take a hitch mounted rack like that
Looks like a Ford Focus
Hey, what are those earrings called?
29 'till the end of time! ( you think a 51 year old guy could jump like that?)
So, turns out I did the math and the 29er won. Don't ask me to show my work. I did it all in my head.
SOLO**
Eric is going to need a lawyer.
This video is so jenky
I love the 'gopro' view of this activity. I think ya'll are totally nuts for brutalizing your joints for this much fun. I want to see you do this 20 years from now.....yup! it's not a sustainable sport just like the bikes. (won't last more than 10 years tops.) Where as 90s MTBs, steel is real, and scary me! 26" wheels is a sustainable way to ride.....and where is my Norton Fiend sticker? Huh? huh?
