Race #1, best result 22. Qualifying race #2, best result 31. Not to mention the ladies on the 650b wheels are getting about the same results as last year at the same tracks on 26ers. By all rights they should not be respectively 4-6 finishes, but rather somewhere on the top 3 steps of the podium. Can these people (bike manufactures) finally stop shoving 650b wheels down our throat for every type of riding. Just to put it out there (probably won't make a difference though), THIS IS NOT A WHEEL SIZE DEBATE, but rather the voice of defiance to the powers that be telling me, "Our testing shows 650b wheel were 3 sec faster than their 26er brethren." I was with the trail/enduro 650b wheels and the perfect match crap, but felt they were taking the shoving the wheels up my a$$ thing to far with DH. Not saying no one wants to ride a 650b DH bike. I love choice, I have engaged in choosing different bikes over the years. The beginning of the end for 26er DH bikes? NOT. Well, the results are not showing it guys....suck on that KHS mechanic or who ever the hell you are. So please stop with the HOOP la just because you have a shinny new toy you want to sell us at an inflated price (that is directed towards you Norco, charging 1k more for a 650b frame kit in contrast to the 26er).
