[Axbent]

this is whats it like riding a normal street here in winter, cept those rocks would be frosen ice.

[akmrmike]

Great demo vid, Thanks. I am definitely considering a 29er.

[REALCaveman]

The video was shot in Truckee. Although I mostly ride in the US and South Africa

[vulture711]

I would have used the pavement ! Geesh

[twoweeled]

ahhhh show off!!! Just cause everyone else avoids that! I even closed my eyes watching this.

[JamesKim13]

I have both 26er and 29er bikes. It would be unfair to compare these two tit for tat because the 29er Marin is a steel framed rigid bike with singlespeed drivetrain while as 26" Spec Stumpy hardtail is a more racier bike (i wouldnt say 'race bike' because its heavy as a pig). I ride a medium size frame and I can definately say that 29er maybe too big for smaller sized rider like me. it handles like a u-haul truck. However it does have a ton of grip and can be very fun on the trail.

If that section of the race course was really that rough, I'd shoulder my 26er and run past that dumbass. Are 29ers only for stupid people?

[REALCaveman]

@RBK855 Why dont you bring your 26" bike, you pick the course, and I can kick your ass?

[RBK855]

@REALCaveman LOL! I'd pull a Levi Leipheimer on your dumb-clown-wheeled-bike-ass!

[MattS6993]

@REALCaveman Where do you ride?

[colinprprpr]

mammoth?

[BigMig5]

@HunterCO1 What's your problem? Don't like cyclists?

[HunterCO1]

Fucking sprocket heads hope that asshole gets hit by a car!

[mxo1210]

this is why specialized bikes are the best!

[classical193]

is it possible to put 29er tires on a bike that has 26 like the stumpjuper would that save me money from buying a 29er bike that i want like the gary fisher mamba thats 900 where as the specialized disc that is a 26er is 750 would it cost 150 to ut 29er tires on it

[REALCaveman]

No, unfortunately you cant fit 29er wheels on a 26" bike. Otherwise everyone would have done it...

[651bobby]

You could always get a 29" capable fork and put a 29 at the front and a 26 at the back, these are generally called 69er's and are quiet popular.

[f4wheels]

really sven, he was test riding a mtn bike not a road bike so he rode it on the rocks, and maybe once your off crack you can get a bike like that too

[Morrisseyhead]

Sven is special leave him alone! don't you understand he has dumbass-titis?

[00sven00sven00]

shoulda rode it on the road just next to all those rocks, looked a lot smoother, woulda got to the end faster and more efficiently, plus he wouldnta needed a fancy bike to do that and thus spent the money he saved on crack.

[BobertXXL]

lucky all i can afford is a gt peac eno supension i would have to do a wheelieall the way

[mikhailitsky]

wow, thats very impressive, i definitely wanna try a 29er

mortulu, go kill yourself

[JoeyoftheYear]

i have a 29er, and i have to tell you that it's pretty amazing:) but it's only a rockhopper.. didn't have enough cash for a stumpy ..:P

[bicicostresa]

e chi la molla più ?

...non ho in mente le gare, ma il vero piacere dell'escursione.

... passa su qualunque ostacolo, non cado più davanti nè dietro... a pari percorso con la SJ FSR elite 2007 ci metto magari lo steso tempo, ma corro più rischi e massacro le articolazioni im maniera superiore... vorrei solo essere un poco più alto, ma pur non arivando al metro e settanta la uso facile...

[matycee]

i'm like....so..?

[plutoplatters]

and i was all ....

[MutterWeimar]

im not buying it ;)

[mortulu]

never do something that gary fisher does... this guy produced some of the most ridiculous bikes for years! so why ride on a bike with wheels as big as a draisine´s in 1900?

[StickSuave]

why the hate for 29ers? have you ever ridden one hard on the trails?

I see that you're in Germany; Europe has no market for 29ers...so I hear.
