What's your favourite custom bike from the DH World Champs?

[JeffMTBinVA]

I love Amaury Pierron's Commencal, beautiful bike

#quiz - 27.5 is essentially interchangeble with 650b (though I am sure some roadies hate that), especially when measured from tyre edge to tyre edge. - Yeah 650b is a Frenchie thing – diameter + width.

[michaellam]

First things first, the terms 650b and 27.5in are interchangeable – we're talking about the same thing here.

The term 650b comes from French sizing nomenclature – the number indicating the approximate diameter of the wheel, including tyre, and the letter corresponding to an approximate width (the 700c standard for road bike wheels has the same origin).

A 650b wheel is one that's about 27.5 inches in diameter, when measured from tyre edge to tyre edge. This compares to 26in for a standard mountain bike wheel and 29in for so-called '29er' wheels (700c road wheels are also 29in in diameter).

The national flag of Australia is based on the British Blue Ensign — a blue field with the Union Jack in the upper hoist quarter — augmented with a large white seven-pointed star (the Commonwealth Star) and a representation of the Southern Cross constellation... only their national sports teams use the green & gold for their 'away' uniforms

I like the thumbnail pic. Looks more Jamaican 🇯🇲 than Australian 🇦🇺 👀🤔

[feedbackzaloop]

Yeah, Porsche. Suuuure... That's Kona Roast from 2000

You can't top chrome color on CF. And polished alloy bits. Well maybe chrome underlay with gold infused into it.

[DanWebb]

Will 750d gravel end up 31.5 mtb could be intresting mullets and large size bikes

[elmomos]

#askgmbntech : we heard more than once the history behind 29", but what about 27.5/650b?

[JoeJoe-C]

I miss playfulness of 650b diameter with tire?

Same as 29 being Inc tire?

[TitoJoebs]

#annaonthebike Hi, Anna! How come you're alone?

[andrewm]

leaf sprung..? clearly a sock at both ends..

[InitialP_Photography]

Was Anna paid to mispronounce everything?

[mikehedrick]

Its a 650b because of Napoleon. 650 diameter B width... Yada yada yada.

Anna fanboy here. Let me put a ring on that finger ma'am.
