32er Mountain Bikes

[Shawn Gossman]

Have any of you heard about the new 32-inch mountain bike tire?

I found an article about one company doing some crowdfunding for it:

I have a 29er and personally love it. I kind of like the idea of a 32er, too. I'm a big guy, I feel it would be beneficial for me.

What do you all think?

As a not so big guy, id be down to try.

Have you tried a 29er? Do you like it at all?

I rode a 26er for a while. Hated it because the frame was WAYYY too small. I ride a 29 now. I love it, just rolls.

My MTB is a 29er (Trek Marlin 29er) and I love the hell out of it!

I would avoid the 32 for the time being. There have been lots of “good ideas” that flamed out and people were left with bikes with no hope of getting parts.

See if it takes off.

Oh yeah. I'm not rushing out to buy it. You lose some nimble-ness/flick-ability with 29 so 32 is going to be even worse.
