Hi Folks,

I was recently reading a German MTB mag and the new thing here are the 24" wheels with the massive 26x2.6" tires on em. Of course, these were marketed for the DH crowd. I guess the future here is smaller and thicker!

To see a bike outfitted with these wheels, follow this link: http://www.votec.com/deutsch/news/t5.htm

Thing is, if you ride disk brakes the only compatibility challenge lies in having the massive treads pass through your frame. All of the VOTEC bikes for 2002 will be flip-flop 24"/26" compatible.

I personally don't like changing the standards in any direction cause it means more money in the bike industry's pocket cause you have to buy the new standard to buy tires or something equally rediculous.

Sun's out today, I just might leave work early to get some km's in...
