Wheel sizes - the industry has gone mad



Found this photo on the internet last week and looking at it, taking into account the tyre on the left is 26x4" the tyre on the right is just unreal. Can you just imagine the size/clearance required on frame / forks including some mud clearance. You will need legs like the hulk to pedal the beast.
On the subject of wheel size, all you read about is different / new industry standard mtb wheel sizes, I have totally lost track of this new guff. All the mtb magazines, websites etc are full on it. 26" is now dead but some companies says its alive, 650b, 27.5" never owned one and 29er is also old school now as well! Christ just get out there and ride a bike man.
Si from Cycle Solutions at Dipton did a blogpost on tyre size recently and you can have a read HERE
