Its gone beyond a joke, beyond an experiment, beyond a fad and beyond a trend. Twenty-nine-inch diameter wheel bikes (29ers) are here in force. Some say weve been riding the wrong size wheels all along and that 29ers are the bomb. Others think 26-inch bikes will eventually be consigned to the history books. And others still think 29ers are a marketing ploy by the industry to generate more interest and sales. We went in search of fact and opinion to find out more about 29ers for ourselves and you Some notable 29-er racing successes

that must now be taken seriously, even by the brands that a couple of years back were rubbishing the concept. Twenty-niners are not new. Gary Fisher, one of the founders of mountain biking, began telling people a decade ago that 29-inch wheels were better in many ways than 26-inch wheels, the accepted standard. But few listened. Those who did were mainly small brands that had little to lose by adding a new platform to their small production runs. Fisher may be eccentric, but hes not stupid; and in 2002 he began to manufacture and sell 29-inch bikes in his own stable. One of the biggest obstacles was the shortage of tyres, tubes and forks, a significant limiting factor and probably one of the reasons the platform took so long to achieve the critical mass it now enjoys. Also, the UCI initially banned 29-inch bikes in races, but in 2003, Fisher managed to successfully lobby for their acceptance. Mountain bike pioneers were very limited by what wheel size they could use when they first began modifying and designing bikes that would best withstand the rigours of trail riding. Bombers or Clunkers, the balloon-tyred 26-inch cruiser-style bikes, were a little more robust and fun compared to most bicycles of the time. A 29-inch wheel, was around at the time, but it was on road and touring bikes, and it was way too thin and unstable to consider. Besides, mountain biking was a breakaway division of cycling that represented, freedom, fun and well, more fun. The mountain bike pioneers wanted different, not the same So the 26-inch wheel standard was set and a global industry grew around that standard. Fortunately the mountain bike industry has always been way less conservative than the road cycling industry, with a variety of bottom bracket, stem, headset, gear shift, brakes and suspension designs emerging over the past three decades. Some worked, while others were spectacular failures. But all are considered part of the learning curve that is mountain bike development a dynamic, constant state of evolution and occasionally, revolution. Its difficult to label the widespread recognition and manufacture of 29ers we are seeing now. Its part evolution, part revolution. Its also part I-told-you-so, part lets-not-get-lef t-behind as brand owners ride in circles at the intersection, considering which trail to take. All we know is that the 29er is no longer a novelty. Its here to stay and its going to play a significant role in the cycling discipline we so love.

BIG BRAND CREDIBILITY

Specialized, one of the worlds biggest bicycle brands, is a latecomer to the 29-inch bike market. In the middle of 2007 it started to invest a considerable amount of time, money and expertise into the R&D of a quality 29er. The result of that investment, thus far, is Burry Stander challenging for international race podiums and achieving them and a whole new category of bikes to sell to the world. In finishing third at the second round of the 2010 UCI World Cup, just a few seconds behind World Champion, Nino Schurter and Olympic Champion Julien Absalon, Stander unwittingly won over a huge chunk of credibility for 29ers. Fast, tight racing and shorter riders were always meant to be the bigger-wheeled bikes Achilles heel, but Stander (who stands just 1.74m tall) has pretty much put paid to those claims. TREAD spoke to Eric Shuder, 29er Product Manager at Specialized, about what went into creating essentially a whole new bike: TREAD: Where do you start with a project this big? ERIC SHUDER: Well its not just a matter of taking bigger wheels and putting them on an existing bike. We had to start from scratch to ensure the suspension was right, the geometry was perfect different wheel sizes change the handling of the bike and getting the front end low enough to keep the bike aggressive. TREAD: But you already had a lot of the technology in place right? ERIC: Well, yes and no. We used our most successful bike a 26-inch Stumpjumper FSR took the skeleton and built up a 29-inch version of it, which included having to re-think and re-work the suspension technology. We tried a few prototype frames to work out which was the best geometry for this wheel size. We worked with our product managers, our engineers and our sponsored riders. We rode them ourselves and then had lengthy discussions about the handling and feel
before settling on the best possible option. TREAD: Do you think 29ers will dominate the future of mountain biking? ERIC: I dont think 29-ers will completely own the future of mountain biking, but theyll certainly have a lasting presence, mainly the hardtail and the short-travel full susser. The 26-inch wheel definitely suits longer-travel bikes with their slacker frame geometry. TREAD: Any big improvements we can expect in the near future? ERIC: Lighter wheels. Wheel weight is critical. Standard 29er wheel weights are fine for most riders, but not for serious racers. Were working on new wheel projects with the likes of carbon rims, lighter tyres and even lighter forks. This technology will no doubt make its way down to the lower models eventually.

So how does a 29-inch bike ride?
That is the million-dollar question really. So we asked Specializeds South African wholesaler, Le Peloton, for two similarly-specced Specialized bikes to ride for a few weeks. They sent two mediumsized Rockhopper models (low-to-mid-range), one with 26-inch wheels and the other with 29-inch wheels, to allow us to draw our own comparisons. Each bike had the same tyres, hubs, saddle, seatpost, handlebar, stem, grips, brakes, drivetrain and gear shifters. We set them up identically in terms of saddle height, fore/aft position, handlebar angle, stem height/position, fork pressure and tyre pressures and let our test team and some TREAD readers ride them hard. We took times, we took notes, we took notice of how each bike felt in every tight turn, wide turn, up steep climbs, down steep descents, over ruts and rocks, through sand and mud. We rode them often and we rode them hard. We quickly established that we could run the 29er tyres softer and reduced the pressure accordingly around a 6-9psi drop. Neither of the bikes had tubeless systems. This gave increased comfort and improved control through the larger sized contact patch between tyre and trail. We also found that the 29er rolled faster, especially on rocky or rutted terrain and also through thick sand and mud. We got our testers to score each bike with a 0 (acceptable), 1 (good)
Burry Stander the South African guinea pig
After having ridden and raced a Specialized S-Works 29er since April 2010, Stander, the Under-23 XCO World Champion, is convinced that the bigger wheel is better overall. He is the highest profile XCO racer to throw his leg over a 29er in the big international races, which attracts plenty of interest. Cross-country racing is tight and technical, just the environment in which 29ers are not supposed to excel. Standers results against the worlds best riders in World Cup and other high profile XCO races have gone a long way to at least curbing, if not crushing, any such doubts. To be honest, the only time I find the 29er isnt as good as the 26-inch bike is on very slow (less than 10kph) climbs with switchbacks, said Stander shortly after finishing third, just 14 seconds behind current World Champion, Nino Schurter and current Olympic Champion, Julien Absalon at Round 2 of the 2010 World Cup in Houffalize, Belgium. Ive been riding both wheel sizes this year, and find it far easier and more natural going from a 26-inch bike to a 29-inch bike. The other way around just feels like the opposite of progression, which should be an important message. Stander believes that once the rotating weight of the larger wheels has been trimmed, the 29er will be even better. The R&D guys at Specialized are working on a carbon 29er wheelset and lighter tyres. Theyve done so much work on the frame already and its really just the wheels where the biggest improvements can still be made. Its the future. I give the 26-inch hardtail another year and reckon in five years time 29ers will be the dominant size mountain bike throughout the world.

The timeline of the 29er

1982 English off-road cycling pioneer Geoff Apps contacts Gary Fisher and Charlie Kelly with news that he had built a prototype off-road bicycle in 1981. The bike used 700c (29-inch) snow tyres from Finland. Fisher and Kelly were intrigued. However, poor supply resulted in them sticking with the 26-inch platform. 1991 Bianchis US division launches Project bikes, three 29-inch models. The Bianchi catalogue raves about the advantages of the larger wheels. But not much attention is paid and Bianchi sticks with 26-inch wheels. 1992 Klein bikes produces a limited number of a model called Adept, a 29-inch version of their successful 26-inch Attitude model, but discontinues it when it never quite takes off. 1995 Diamond Back bikes creates an Overdrive model and Specialized presents a Crossroads model both brands sport 700c-sized (29-inch) wheels and are more like hybrids with frame and fork clearance for larger tyres. A lack of suitable offroad tyres and forks puts an end to both models quickly. 1999 Wilderness Trail Bikes (WTB) manufactures the first-ever proper 29-inch tyre, the Nanoraptor. White Brothers produces the first commercially available suspension forks for 29-inch wheels. 2002 Gary Fisher Bicycles is the first of the major brands to produce a range of 29-inch bikes. Up until then, some small brands like Willits Bikes and Moots had produced 29-inch bikes in small quantities. The Fisher bikes dont sell well, but Fisher persists with the larger wheel platform. 2004 Gary Fisher Bicycles introduces the singlespeed 29-inch model, The Rig, which creates a big interest in 29-inch bikes and improves sales. 2005 Gary Fisher convinces Rock Shox to design a 29-inch compatible version of the Reba. Retrospectively, this is considered to have become the turning point for 29ers. 2005-2007 Most major brands continue to dismiss 29-inch bikes as a fad and continue putting their R&D into 26-inch models ranges. 2008 Those same major brands begin to realise that with increased availability of tyres, suspension forks etc, 29-inch bikes could well be here to stay and begin R&D into creating 29-inch model ranges. 2009 Smaller brands start doing impressive numbers with 29-inch bikes as top racers, mostly in the USA, begin topping podiums on 29ers. 2010 Virtually every major bike brand adds a 29er model or models to its range, with fine-tuned versions made for the 2011 model year.

The 3-inch (75mm) difference in wheel size, may sound small, but it makes a big impact on the ride feel. More and more wheel, tyre, tube and fork manufacturers are now firmly focused on the growing 29-inch bike market.
OTHER 29er QUESTIONS OUR TESTING ANSWERED
But can you wheelie a 29er? Yep. Actually we found they wheelie really well more stable than a 26-inch bike we reckon. Just need a slightly bigger lift/pedal effort than with the 26-inch bike to get it to the sweet spot. Do 29ers fit on bike racks okay? Yes, not much different to 26-inch bikes when it comes to transporting them. Do they feel as different as they look? No, not significantly. When youre on the 29er you feel a little higher up perhaps (and thats because you are!), similar to a being on a road bike (apparently). Is it difficult to get spares for 29ers? Well, the only real differences are the rims, spokes, tubes and tyres. The fork is different too, but less likely to need replacing. Obviously 29er spares arent as widely available as those for 26-inch bikes, but thats improving by the month! Dont the heavy wheels make it harder to get going? Well, on the bikes we used for our comparison, the 29er wheels weighed a combined 5080 grams, while the 26-inch bikes wheels weighed 4140 grams. Accelerating from tight turns and low-speed sections of trail did seem a touch slower on the 29er, but once it got rolling, it made up for that. Surely the gearing is different because of the difference in wheel size? Both bikes were specced with 22/32/44 chainrings and 11-34-tooth 9-speed cluster. We found we needed to ride lighter gears on the 29er than the 26-inch bike, especially at higher cruising speeds. The tech gurus tell us that because the 29er wheels are approximately 10% larger than 26-inch wheels, to optimise 29-inch bike gearing to be similar to 26-inch bike gearing, you need to increase the cog sizes by 10% or decrease the chainring sizes by 10%. Switching the cassette from an 11-34 to a 12-34 should get you most of the way there. Its currently more complicated fitting smaller chainrings due to crank design limitations, which will probably improve with the growth of the 29er category.

DUAL SUSPENSION 29ers

The ride of a 29er hardtail has similar characteristics to that of a dual

suspension 26-inch bike. The bigger volume tyres offer a good bit of cushioning over small bumps and grooves. And because it rolls more easily over rougher terrain, like stones, rocks and ruts, the 29er hardtail goes some way to mimicking the smoothness of a dual suspension 26-inch bike. And this is why many believe that for most types of riding, rear suspension isnt that essential on a 29er. Up until last year, full suspension 29ers were considered too heavy to be fast. But the introduction of the Gary Fisher Superfly 100, a fullcarbon dual susser weighing under 11kg changed that perception.

Are 29ers faster? The physics behind the big wheels
Now to the core of the issue, the secret behind the big wheel: contact angle. Contact angle is simply the angle created by the tyre and the ground. A 29-inch wheel has a lower contact angle to the ground than a 26-inch wheel because of the larger diameter. Because of the lower contact angle the 29-inch wheel will cover bumps, rocks, ruts and other obstacles with ease. The 26-inch wheel has a harsh contact angle and will not climb over these obstacles as gradually as a 29-inch wheel. This more gradual climbing nature of a 29er means less energy lost to conquering terrain features. The larger wheel diameter also means that the 29er will not hit every minor bump and rut. Now dont confuse this with the contact angle principle; the larger wheel simply skips over ruts and bumps. Because the 29er can conquer technical terrain features more easily, less energy is lost to impact with the terrain, and more is preserved in the momentum. Also less energy is required to maintain a current speed, so less energy is required to maintain the level of momentum.
It is easy to see here that the angles created by the 29-inch (red) wheel are much smaller those created by the 26-inch (green) wheel. Note that the 29-inch wheel will conquer the rock and the pothole with less loss of momentum than the 26-inch wheel.
All-in-all 29ers do indeed carry their momentum better than 26s in any technical terrain. Another consideration is momentum capacity. On the trail we have certain sections where we feel comfortable only riding at or below a maximum speed. For instance a very technical, flat run with big exposure might cause us to dial down our speed even though we easily have the energy to go faster. Because a 29er is a bit heavier than its 26-inch equivalent, the momentum equation shows us that the 29er will carry more momentum than the 26-inch when they are both traveling at the same speed.

The TREAD Verdict

Theres no doubt about it, the 29er offers a new aspect to mountain biking. The hardtail 29er certainly fills some gaps that have been left in the 26-inch bike category. Additional confirmation that the bigger-wheeled platform is here to stay is the fact that all the major brands have begun producing 29ers. The concept undoubtedly has reached critical mass.

By Matt Brady

Now its time to embrace it. Well thats our feeling. Our test team, which included some 29er skeptics, including the TREAD Editor, went into this investigation with some negative preconceived ideas about 29ers. But they all showed varying levels of conversion by the end. We believe that there will always be 26-inch bikes and that there isnt anything wrong with them. But we do believe that the 29-inch format will grow substantially over the next few years and may even become bigger than the 26-inch format at some point. For the majority of South Africans that participate in marathons and stage races, we still reckon you cant go wrong with a dual suspension 26-inch bike. However if youre serious about your racing, you should consider a 29er hardtail as an alternative racing machine. Expect to see a considerable growth in the number of 29ers at the 2011 Absa Cape Epic. And we also believe that for those starting out in mountain biking, a 29er hardtail is a good option due to the way it rolls better than a 26-inch bike over more tricky terrain and is more stable overall. Different wheel size; different ride feel; same fun!
Are 29ers really faster? The simple answer is yes, heres why: I hear a lot of talk about momentum whenever 29ers come into discussion. It is in fact true that 29ers carry momentum better than 26s but for different reasons than you may think. In classical mechanics, momentum is equal to mass multiplied by velocity. Lets say we have a 26-inch bike and a 29-inch bike, both made of the same components. The 29er will naturally be a bit heavier due to the bigger frame to accommodate the wheels, as well as larger wheels, tyres and tubes. If we look back to our momentum equation, if both bikes traveled at the same speed the 29-inch bike would carry more momentum because of the extra weight. However because of this extra weight, more energy would be required to maintain the same speed as the 26-inch bike. In other words if a rider using the exact same effort rode each bike, the 29er would actually be slightly slower than the 26 because of the extra mass. But the big picture is not quite that simple

Theres been a lot of ink over the years about the early days of mountain biking: the whos and whats and way-back-whens. Its a good thing, I suppose, to get some of that stuff down for posterity. But the real story isnt found in the details. Details are static. This story, mountain biking, it flows. Back in the day, we werent looking for anything more than a way to get around on Mt. Tamalpais. The area was closed to motor vehicles in the early 70s due to excessive partying (which we may have, possibly, been a part of). With cars outlawed, bicycles became the next best option. Before long though, we realized bicycles were actually the best option of all.
A real collection of humanity we were: all kinds of misfits crashing down the mountain on Goodwill bikes. We went for the pre-WWII models, which were fairly common, because they had higher cranksets. Five or ten bucks was all it took. Just walk your bike up the mountain. Ride it down. Then repack the bearings, replace the busted parts, and do it again. It was a blast. A huge party. We didnt know at the time (nor care) that we were onto something big. We just knew we were onto something fun.
Before long, we started to tinker: wider gearing, longer crankarms, motorcycle parts, on and on. It was like a spark that we couldnt help but fan. Trying to come up with ways to improve the experience. Stronger, lighter, faster. More fun. Mt. Tam provided all the fuel we needed. Of course meanwhile, other people on other mountains were starting other fires. Before we knew it, the whole world was aglow.
The best part, though, is that its still lit. Each season brings new riders, new ideas, new ways to mess with what we do. All kinds of fresh fuel to keep things crackling. I, for one, couldnt be any happier. Gary

THE KLUNKERS

CIRCA 1974
MOUNTAIN BIKES (as in Inc.) CIRCA 1979
One of the enduring legacies from this period is the term Mountain Bikes. Its the name I came up with when Charlie Kelly and I started our company. This bike here is one of our rst production models. To make them I lined up large quantities of parts from around the world. Tom Ritchey was our framebuilder. He could build 100 frames in three weeks which was a lot back then. We brought it all under one roof so you could pick a bike and take it home with you that day as opposed to waiting for a custom bike. We had people lined up out the door. Shown below in Grey.

PROCALIBER CIRCA 1987

The Procaliber geometry was totally racer driven. We developed it specically to work for our race team on the NORBA series. It was a real melding of road bike geometry and a cruiser bike and it just plain worked.

RS-1 CIRCA 1990

This bike really forwarded the theory that suspension could work on a mountain bike. I teamed with Mert Lawwill on this project and we brought together a whole bunch of people and companies with one goal in mind: Creating the ultimate suspension bike. Shown below in Blue.

GENESIS CIRCA 1997

Genesis Geometry is what happened when we threw out all the givens in mountain bike design and started over. We put amoved forward from this entirely new starting point. The result was a redistribution of the riders weight which signicantly improved climbing, descending, and handling. Shown below in Grateful Dead.

29ER CIRCA 2002

A century ago, when most roads werent paved, the standard wheel size for a bicycle was 32 inches. Looking back now, its easy to see that those guys were on to something. But over the years, the standard wheel size for off-road use shifted to 26 inches. Obviously a 26-inch wheel has its applications. But still: rock big, wheel small. So we developed the 29er and basically ipped that equation around. Shown below in Blue.
Back in the day, between pushing your bike uphill and replacing broken parts, there wasnt much time left for riding. Our answer was The Klunker, which was a real departure from the bikes of the time (lightweight 10-speeds, English three-speeds, singlespeed beach cruisers). We tricked out the Klunkers with wide-range gears, motorcycle components, and so on. Basically the most robust parts we could build, borrow, or steal. Shown below in Red.

MT TAM CIRCA 1987

RockShox had just come out with their rst fork and people were all over the place on whether it worked or was necessary. You could slap one on just about any bike but youd alter the geometry. So I designed a frame entirely around the fork and put it out on a production bike and people dug it.

GENESIS HARDTAILS

Fig. 01

Garys Genesis Geometry designs are light, agile, responsive, and engineered to make average riders good and good riders even better. How does Genesis Geometry work? It places the riders center of gravity in position for better climbing and more confident descending. Bottom line, Genesis Geometry is cold, hard science that rides like magic.
CLIMB. By shortening the chainstays, Genesis Geometry concentrates more of your weight on the rear wheel, aiding traction.
DESCEND. Genesis Geometry moves your center of gravity further behind the front wheel so youre less likely to go over the handlebars.

STEER. A shorter stem requires less hand movement to steer, creating more precise maneuvering.
MAINTAIN. Your normal riding position is maintained to keep you comfortable.

hardtails

Why a hardtail in this age of amazing full-suspension designs? Because theres an undeniable purity in a hardtail, a hardwired connection to the dirt. It may seem old-school to some, but it will never go out of style. In fact, when you see Gary out on the trail these days, hes probably on a hardtail.

Genesisters bikes arent just engineered specifically for women theyre equipped to fit better from the start. Genesisters frame geometry provides a better biomechanical fit, while the parts mix proves to fit more women right the first time. No more swapping saddles, adjusting the reach, switching this or that. From full-suspension models with plush travel to quick and speedy hardtails, Genesisters bikes are offered in a range of models to accommodate the full spectrum of riding styles. (1) Womens saddle increases comfort. (2) Genesisters Geometry optimally positions a womans center of gravity for better control. Compact frame design offers an easier reach. (3) Narrower handlebars fit narrow shoulders better. (4) Custom-tuned front shocks suit lighter-weight riders. (5) Shorter-reach brake levers fit a womans hands.

29" wheels create a longer tire contact patch. To make a longer-contact-patch story short, this helps you oat through mud, sand, and snow, and also improves traction when climbing. Not getting bogged down helps you maintain your momentum. Which is a good thing.

Fig. 05
Fisher full-suspension designs continue to evolve and improve at an impressive pace. As do your choices. Whether for owing cross-country expeditions or epic freeride sessions, theres a full-suspension bike made specifically for the way you want to ride. When technology meets variety, things can start to get complicated. But Gary chooses to keep it simple. And when it comes to full-suspension systems, simple means single pivot. Compared to other setups, a single pivot is lighter, stiffer, and easier to maintain. All good things, Gary thinks. And hes thought about it a lot, having made full-suspension bikes longer than anyone else on the planet.

All new from the ground up, the HiFi represents a significant leap forward for the Fisher line. It starts with G2 Geometry, the first-ever update to Garys original Genesis Geometry. In other words, its the Famous Fisher Feel, fine tuned. G2 uses a custom offset fork to improve the handling characteristics of the bike at slow speeds, while maintaining the stability that Genesis Geometry provides at high speeds. Add in the lightestweight full-suspension frame in the entire Fisher line, and you have the formula for the next generation of full-suspension trail bikes. (1) Genesis 2 (G2) Geometry for improved technical handling (2) The lightest full-suspension frame Fisher has ever made (3) Shaped and butted tubes for an efficient ride (4) 110 gsm OCLV carbon seatstays (5) Linkage-activated pivot system (6) Cartridge bearings press-fit into the main pivot, the dropout, and the link (7) Quadruple FourBarrel bearing dropout pivots (8) Precision-machined swingarm-mounted main pivot system.

Dual Sport bikes start with a full-on Fisher mountain bike frame. Thats right, we use the exact same frame platform as we have on Fisher 29ers. But we then equip our Dual Sports with faster-rolling tires, and quick, short-travel suspension forks for fast cruising. The result? Road bike fast, mountain bike durable. If you want to simplify your life and have one bike to do it all, make it this one.

Kids might not know it, but they want bikes that are durable and safe, yet still fun to ride. Though there are bikes out there that are just as shiny, few, if any, are as well made as Gary Fisher Kids bikes. Theyre built to last and also built to grow, with adjustable components, shorter-reach brakes, and lower standover heights. Kids may think of bikes as just another toy, but with the head of a parent and heart of a kid, Gary Fisher knows better. Who better to design kids bikes? (1) Kids-specific frame and a shorter suspension fork create a lower standover height. (2) Pedal position can be easily switched to accommodate growing legs. (3) Adjustable stem keeps pace with growing kids. (4) Shorter-reach brakes increase control and safety.
