They've got nothing on 27ers and a rider with skills though. And, DAMN, those were some incredible 27er skills displayed last night. I've never seen anyone recover from an imminent endo with the rear wheel so high. Why the **** do morons on a group ride think it's ok to suddenly stop in the middle of the road when there are hundreds of people behind them? And tell me again why a 29er is called a 29er when the wheels are smaller than these 27ers: http://homepage.mac.com/getosx/jubilee.jpg Inquiring minds want to know.
