30 Inch'r...The Time Has Come...Perhaps?

[ThatDarkSkinGuy]

Alright sirs, Ive gone from a 21 to a 26 this year. I was the first to do a 26 on the bike set here in Atlanta and now I am comtemplating a 30 over the winter yet another first. My question is to those of you that have a 30 already. Is there a bike handling difference between a bike with a 26 or a 30? Most will say a 30 is for show not for rydn but I ryde my bike. Just trying get my ducks in a row before before I go into the labb over the winter. Any input would be appreciated.

I rode a 30 " this year for a bit ,i didnt really find a huge difference in handling from a 26 but there is extra weight up front so the gyroscopic effect gets amplified if the design of the wheel leaves it heavy .

You definitely want to upgrade you brakes for sure

How much fork extension was used to attain full?

4" over tubes. The new 30" build were doing now is 2" up in neck so it will have full travel and will put frame close to ground when air is dumped
