Actually Kilazilla is right, the 27.5 we know is closer to a 26 than a 29.
Bead seat diameter is:
559mm for 26” wheel
584mm for 27.5”
622mm for 29”
26 rim was ~22"
27 was 22 & 3/4"
29 was 25"
I'm pretty certain that's what the measurements were. 26 and 27 are very similar. 29 is the large jump up in size.
...just so I can hang it in my living room. I have no business being on a bike of that magnitude.
In my mind knowing that they’re using 4 tokens and 98psi without weight doesn’t really tell me anything.
Still debating if [CCsi] is too much for tire pressure though…
To confirm my zero standing, I'm 5 years ahead in willful ignorance: a 2016 review from Bikemag explains, "Pronounced “two es,” and the bike’s name isn’t an abbreviation for for the day after Monday–it turns out “Tues” means “do it” in German."

If one of these guys was riding my stock Transition Spire, I would feel that I'm packing around way more bike than I need to be. (I mean I already feel that, but it would be even worse!)
"Show room to Rampage"
2021 rampage ….. need to take 27.5 off the back and put smaller wheel … cause 27.5 is TOO BIG.
They are the Chrome ones I have on my 2009 Trek Session. Saw them in the YT video.
I love seeing less and less of these at bike parks.
Tubes too...
Smaller frame sizes (like the EWS guys and Bruni)
Wait until they tell you there are not running 800 wide bars.
In the absence of knowing wtf he's talking about, I'll see your "shorts" and "hat" and raise you "sweatpants", "mildly ratty t-shirt", and "a so-so haircut".
