Mountain bike wheels have been getting larger and larger, we started with the 26" Klunker and have since moved back and forth with the 27.5" and 29" debate... But why settle there? If bigger wheels are better, why not jump to 36"?! - Doddy borrowed El Elto and goes for a ride on the massive 36” wheeled 'Grave Digger' inspired Monster Truck Bike! 👻🧟

@pcpwcail Год назад

It would be interesting to see a proper mtb ie angles, brakes with big rotors , and gearing. Right now the amount of flex I saw was scary, as a bigger guy myself fork flex bothers me. But it was cool to see

@ClubmanGT1971 Год назад

Another brilliant video Doddy. You’re a brave man on that monster. Love the outtakes 👍

@marksandoval5361 Год назад

I think a 36er might a bit much for most of us in terms of fit and weight. However, a 29/32, 29/30.5, or even 30.5/32 mullet might be very good. The thing I like most about a 29+ bike wasn't the 3.0" wide tire, it was 30.5" diameter of those tires.

@mellissanash7517 Год назад

32in bikes & tires do exist. 30.5 does not though.

@marksandoval5361 Год назад

@@mellissanash7517 If a 30.5 x 2.3 tire and wheel did exist, it would have a 30.6 diameter and fit any 29+ frame that currently fits 29x3.0 tires and it would fit many 29er forks which is why I suggested that size.

36 is a big step up from 29. I could see a 32 being more appropriate for taller riders though

@quitemountainous2528 Год назад

It makes sense to have 36 if you are tall like Shaq, 218cm, but for someone say 190-205, 32 would be big enough, right?

Cool video Doddy, that wheel size looks ridiculous. I think the next wheel size will actually be 30.5 taking the progression of the sizes we have now.

@danwebber9494 Год назад

I’m waiting for 32” rims to catch on. More sensible size progression; 559, 584, 622, 686,787. And a 32” with a 32c road tire will fit on a stock 29er mountain bike.

@T4Eater Год назад

@user-od1dt3sd8h 9 месяцев назад

09:06 That is a lot of flex for some easy riding. I'd imagine if you hit a big bump at high speed it would put the tire in contact with the frame and maybe send you flying. That's the problem with bikes for tall riders, the leverage of the long tubes puts incredible forces on things and, in my experience, is never properly compensated for with appropriately thick tubing or extra tubing. I was considering a 36" wheeled touring bicycle but it would probably be a nightmare.
