1. who the fuck names a bike "stevens"..?
2. That French guy has the most incredible accent I've ever heard on any Frenchman. HOly smokes.  I am a straight American and that guys voice is cool
3. 4:05 That CUBE is B-E-A-U_T-I_F-U-L
4. If larger wheels had mouths, they can suck my pork wand. I'm building a retro Intense Tazer 26' from ebay components, my old bike and parts people are selling. The end result is a bike that 8 years ago would have been several thousands, but it's cost me so little today.
5. 26 is not dead. 650b is good but 26 is better for control
6. Its all about money !
7. i cant wait to get some good frames cheap on ebay
8. Forced obsolescence. It's not that people don't want 26ers anymore or there's anything inherently wrong with that size. It's marketing pure and simple. A way to milk more money. That's it.
9. 27.5+ obviously....
   also, the guy from giant has charlie sheen sitting behind him.
10. At 5'4" my wife prefers the 26" bike. The 27.5 turns too slow for her. The 26 is more nimble and fits her well.
11. and 2 years later me and 3 friends bought 26" bikes, specially because it's price is really low, so we could get access to better components
12. It's all about getting people to keep buying new bikes every couple of years because they have the "wrong" wheel size. Give it a few more years and they will invent another wheel size and that one will now be "the best!" The sad thing is that the consumer buys this marketing crap hook, line, and sinker.
13. Science can't PROVE anything.
14. 26 WILL NEVER DIE!
15. I can't drive (medical) so I ride to work every day and wherever else I have to go. grocer, Dr appoint, etc.. I've always used a 26.
    I just bought a 29er on the 5th of March 2016 and I love it. it handles better and I like the mechanical disc breaks as well. and NO MORE LOUD BRAKE SQUEALING !! . God that fkg annoying !
    getting rid of the 26 and buy a 2nd 29er for a backup maybe at the end of the year. 29" Tires and tubes are plentiful.
16. You guys at Giant are very stupid only manufacturing bikes that are in 27.5 , 27.5 is not good for XC I would rather have a 29 than a 27.5 and plus the 29 does the 29 does every thing better.
17. 29 for xc and 650b for everything else except dirt jumping. 26 will die soon.
18. A new ripoff.
19. 3 years after this video was released would you now say that 29 is now the wheel size of choice?
20. Well, I love my 29er.
