There's no reason riders of different wheel sizes can't co-exist. I just posted the article because I thought it was funny how militant Wes Williams was/is, and how my chosen wheel size is now obsolete. I have nothing against the 29 inch wheel, if you like it then ride it - just don't force it on me.
I agree, the article was good, and entertaining. And I agree, different wheel sizes should be able to co-exist peacefully.
My point in the above post was that a lot of people say they don't like 29ers, 29ers this, 29ers that......and I doubt that a lot of them have even ridden a 29er, at least not enough to form a meaningful opinion. Again, if someone really rides a 29er off road, doesn't like it, and then criticizes it, that's cool. Choice is good.
