New wheel size

[ichitan]

A new wheel size is being tested, larger than the 29 inch. It is being called the 750D. It may not become widely used, but is likely to. Do bikes need another larger wheel size?

I saw this article also. I was just saying to my group, after watching the sam pilgrim video where he rides a 36" inch bike that the next wheelsize we would likely see, especially for road, is 32s. I don't really think 36" in super feasible for road, because the center of balance issue, but 32s might still be in the good zone, with the added inertia bonus being up 4 inches from 700c. Gravel is more like MTB, so I wouldn't count this relative towards what I was saying.

I did a search, and it appears some companies already offer 32 and 36 inch custom wheels for larger individuals.

But I was speaking on it becoming a standard.
