Bikes are like boobs. They are great in all sizes.

This.

[jm2e]

Um. Just for the record, bikes are not like boobs.
Boobs are at the very top of a huge pile of awesome things. They are Hope. They are art. They are wonders from heaven. They are salvation.
I will never see a nice boob and say to myself "well, maybe if the weather was better" or "wrong color" or "too heavy to have any fun with"
Bikes are fun, but let's keep some perspective.
Well boys, off to the Padded Room!

And I'm not a geometry nerd, and I'm certain that this his been discussed on the interwebs in great detail...but would the angles on a bike change if you switched wheel sizes? Wouldn't all the angles stay the same it would just lower everything the difference of the radius of the two wheel sixes? Is Damian's head going to explode?

The rox in Damian's hood are way to extreme for the reduced BB height, apparently.

Boobs are the best!

The Damian ridicule is really the whole reason I came to this thread.

This thing looks pretty sexy: http://www.pinkbike.com/news/first-r...-55c-2016.html

Thinking I might get one and put 26" wheels on it.

I'm guessing any of you assclowns doubting me do most of your riding (posing) on bike paths and flow trails where your bottom bracket could be 10" high and have it not be an issue.

Comes with 700c wheels? Unrideable.

Definitely.

The only explanation, really.

[Damian Sanders]

Definitely.

The only explanation, really.

Or, you ride up fire roads (or chairlifts) and ride downhills that require little pedaling in technical sections.

[gravitylover]

^^ Something you have significant experience with apparently.

[MagnificentUnicorn]

Damian Sanders=Core Luddite.

[Sirshredalot]

Wow. I'm running 26" wheels on two different low BBH 27.5" frames.

And yet, I'm somehow alive and manage to actually have fun riding them.

Go figure.

Dude, chill out.

Isn't this guy your neighbor who rides a lot better than you do, Damian?

Tell that to scrublover.

[stuckathuntermtn]

My Nimble 9 has 29" wheels and QRs.
UNRIDEABLE

[Damian Sanders]

You mean "rocky" like this???

THAT IS NOTHING.



You guys are wussies. Look at the pics in that thread. SMOOTH.

I normally ride heinous rock gardens just miles away from my house. I even just got some replacement clipless pedal binders to replace the one that cracked from multiple rock strikes.

1000 dollar bike-off. Moab. I'll beat you up any genuinely rough trail of your choice on my 12.8" BB 27.5 frame with 26" wheels. That's 500. The other 500 is you get to the bottom of the portal trail within 30 seconds of me.

I'll even bring the mid 80s montage music and the blowup doll one of us wins at the end who ends up being really sexy once she takes her glasses off.

[My Pet Powder Goat]

BIKE OFFFF!!!

I don't think this has happened since 'Rad'!

Are those "race stock" binders?

[kidwoo]

Obviously.

Race Stock pedals are the only ones that can hold up to his skill level.


Because it's skill that makes you hit your pedals so hard.

[toast2266]

Definitely.

I want in on this. My contribution:

Prior to arriving in Moab, I'll sign a will leaving all of my bikes to Damian Sanders.

I'll ride my gorilla taped tubeless setup. If I die in Moab, Damian gets everything. If I don't die, Damian owes me $500.
