Calling it...next wheel size is "28".
29, too big. 27.5, too small.
28 will be puuuurfect.

28" wouldn't require a complete frame redesign, making the new bike that was released only 4 months ago obsolete.
Therefore, the bike companies will never go for 28”.
Now that 29" is the DH wheel size, I'm guessing XC moves up to 36, but only after first going through 30, 31, 32, 34, so they can make a bunch of money off of their planned constant obsolescence.

Look.
The biggest mtb wheel is 29".
The smallest MTB wheel is 12".
Obviously, the wheel size that must be best on average is 19.5".
So clearly, the ideal wheel size is actually a BMX wheel.
It's simple math and science. Originally Posted by XXX-er

4. Remind me what and how many non-boutique/major manufacturer bike brands have 32 and/or 36 for sale in bike shops? Originally Posted by XXX-er

Well if this is you're criterion, then 26" wheels are the wave of the future, for the same reason. Originally Posted by cmcrawfo

You call that a mountain bike? These are mountain bikes--and in their natural habitat (a sweet custom rack in a parking lot in Moab, obviously): Originally Posted by cmcrawfo

More genius from the bike industry. I'm sure this goes great with 28" wheels.
