the new wierwolf sounds great, i agree about the better grip when the tire is worn. Why no 2.5 size though?

chainguide mounts on the swingarm! Clever

Sure the 29 inch wheel will roll over bigger junk. How about this disadvantage- the extra weight at the rim will add to the gyro effect making the wheel slower to change direction at speed. Combine that with the extra flex and you have a recipe for poor high speed handling IMHO. If you are too lazy to pick up the front end and need a 29 inch wheel to compensate, sure help yourself to a handicap. Knock yourself out. I'll stick with the two six.

umm just which direction does a chain "slip"? wasnt the chain and cog relationship optimized in like the 1800s?
