As I mentioned previously, the 29 vs 26 debate is alive and well all over the web. G-Ted had another quick installment today which prompted my usual headache from thinking.
Dave Harris tried to effectively measure the difference for him in a physical sense, but how about the psychology of the rider? In short, I am willing to bet that if you firmly believe you are faster on wheel X for whatever reason, you probably are if the true physical differences are close.
Then again, what do I know.
Shortly, I will be riding the shop on my 26 Fascist Killing SS to continue to build up my 29 SS Yet to Be Named Niner.

Oh, and if a single speeder is a Viking and geared is a Ninja, I don't know what you call someone rocking it fixed. But, I do know that it's sweet as hell.

I think it goes something like this: Ninja, Viking, Attila the Hun
word up...
I am one with the Hun. Fixing is fun. I wish I had the loot to have a permanent off-road fixie. Swapping wheels and brake removal keep it from happening on a consistent basis.
I dreamt of drop bars last night (seriously).
I'd love to fix up a Monocog 29'er on the cheap.
