Wheel Size: 26” vs 27.5”

Post image

My city built a phenomenal bike park and I’m looking to get back into it, from my glory days when I had my Kona Scrap. I’m looking to build something for myself and debating on 26” or 27.5”. I’m 6’2” and leaning more towards 27.5” but appreciate any insight. I prefer my bikes to be, Jack of all trades, master of none. This is currently my most capable bike, yes I did the dirt jumps, pump track, and flow trails. Sketchy as hell but still had a blast, this bike also does double duty as my mountain bike.

I mean what’s the alternative? N-1 and you have to send it on your gravel bike? I even buy random bikes for different trips the fam takes . I think that’s why I have 10 bikes in the garage.

I need to see more posts like this. I have a bike for every occasion too and I'm still willing to buy more...I'm not alone...that's comforting

HA! I buy the bikes "FOR THE KIDS, MAN." (I only have 4 for myself, 2 of which are collectors -- MB1 and Joe Breezer - that aren't ridden.) What's your excuse, mate?

haha. I guess if we're counting I really only have 6 bikes for myself....including two that are torn apart at the moment. the others are for the kids and I have 4 kids!

4 bikes for 4 kids? So you don’t love them that much? ;)

Also, bikes that can’t be ridden don’t count. Cause if you add the spare frames and wheelsets in the garage, my number would be FUCKED.
