All About 36er Mountain Bikes

[@MatthPeder]

As a 36er unicyclist, we thank you for using 36" tires on mountain bikes. It gives us more options for tires and rims since manufacturers have a larger market to sell to. I'm in love with my Vee T-Monster tire 😍

We are going to be riding penny farthings again.

[@barnabybryce9440]

They'd be called "penny pennies" though

[@brianmgrim]

I didn’t realize how important this issue was until you awakened me from my dull acceptance of 29 and lesser diameters with you screaming Revolutionary!! at me. It was then that I realized how sedated I had become into accepting my bicycle as the functionally beautiful machine that marketing gurus want me to now deny.

[@triumphspitfire487]

I'm 6'7" and I really hope 36ers become a thing. The dirtysixer is around $9000 plus importing to the UK. My 29er felt like coming home so I'd love to try a 36er.

Iam not even 6 feet, but I love the idea smooth crushing on roads, for touring bike with 36 inch tires

[@triumphspitfire487]

@@sahilagnihotri5128 well 5 inches is a big difference. Possibly a different frame architecture might suit you better.

[@matoatlantis]

I can see how bigger riders enjoy this more. I've 26 and 27.5ers and I feel comfortable with them. I've tried 29'' few times and it's just too big for me. I'd probably have big issues shredding now the trail with 36'' but it could be interesting XC to go around. But probably more as a gravel-ish bike.

[@theephemeralglade1935]

Okay, folks I am going to breakdown everything you need to know about the 36er. Basically, you can't buy one.

[@tubefile100]

😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😃😂😂😂

[@d4r1us18]

what a 36er should do combined with aerodynamics is : long range distances at a smaller effort , stability and SPEED .

[@Cloxxki]

32" is a bit more doable and the first beach cruisers with that size have already turned up. I do believe the biggest that will work is best though, certainly for long rides with less struggling about tight bends.

[@mofosoto]

Man, can't we get there incrementally? Like, a 30.5" then 32". Maybe a mullet 30.5" in front with 29er rear.

[@marshallferron]

36 inch rims and tires already exist for unicycles. It's generally a lot easier to repurpose an existing wheel size than to introduce a new one which is why we have 29ers (700c) and 27.5 (650b). Although Walmart did sell a 32" cruiser for a while but I'm not sure if you can still get replacement parts for it

[@mofosoto]

@@marshallferron agreed. I don't know every wheel size out there but I know there's all kinds of sizes of unicycles and odd sized bikes. Just seemed like an odd jump when riders are noticing differences in 1.5 inch wheel increase. "Should we go up another size? Nah, let's go up 6!" I mean why not go with the biggest wheels found on a penny farthing bike then if that's what you're doing?

[@d4r1us18]

also i hope with 36 inch wheels LEANING left or right at high speed shouldnt be much of a problem.

[@billbarusche9345]

Are we ever going to do the comparison? Thanks for the video I would love to hear more about the 36ers

[@d4r1us18]

this concept of 36 is pretty neat for now. they sould go as far as 39 inch wheels but only with UD carbon wheels maybe. who knows how many years will have to pass until that could be done.

[@mindciller]

I just want to build a bike with these wheels because it's a dumb size

[@lossantoscity3249]

same as 29, 29 has no reason to. its just a snake oil product and meant to give more money revolving around it, if bigger is better then we should just put 36 wheels on bikes. put modern technology on a 26 same on a 29 and im sure the result will not that much,

[@faridelfadani5404]

@@kudosbudo I like that idea

[@d4r1us18]

larger wheel circumference also requires a longer and wider bike. it is as same as a racing car with 22'' wheels and a widebody kit . wide - more stable long - increases speed and distance at a lower effort.

[@KandiKlover]

Plus it looks really fucking cool. I remember seeing one like these at the local trails before. Blew my fucking mind!

[@datutturugang666]

anything bigger than 20 is actually disadvantageous in racing

[@johncraig8808]

What is the science behind bigger wheels in bicycles anyhow in cars it can slow you down if you go above a certain threshold, im 27.5" currently but ive got an old 26" suspension mtb ive managed to beat cars in races around town on the 26" wheels mtb cause the cars need to use traffic lights lol and i can go routes that cars cant thats how i managed to beat motor vehicles on a bike, only local races long distance the car will take the lead i just mean short distance journeys on a bicycle can be faster than a motorcar !!

[@dermihai]

As the wise elder say, if the weight is a concern, then start with the wheels. Yet this goes completely against it. Think about the forward + angular momentum lost whenever you want to brake...

[@FEDDELEGRAND2391]

Could you tell me the name of the model and brand of the orange bicycle frame that appears at minute 1:00? It has a Lefty fork. It seems incredible to me. I am 191 cm tall and currently ride 29 ”size XL bikes. I would love to have a bike more adapted to my height. Thanks for the video. Podrías decirme cómo se llama el modelo y la marca del cuadro de la bicicleta de color naranja que aparece en el minuto 1:00? Tiene una horquilla Lefty. Me parece increíble.

[@Cloxxki]

Surely someone will make some carbon rims and lighter tires eventually? How much would it cost in tooling? I'll help out.

[@naktir5677]

What about a kickbike / footbike with 39er wheels? Is there a maker somewhere?

[@d4r1us18]

i dont know about what forks could be used. i am hoping for an 80mm travel. that should be enough for XC or even enduro.

[@apolloneo.2888]

80mm for enduro No. Imagine turning on a steep Decent with that, its hideous

[@apolloneo.2888]

[@willygray3438]

Awaiting the comparison video...

[@zenithcycleworks6344]

We're still in the process of assembling the bike, the main obstacle right now being whether or not we can get hold of a set of 32 hole 36" Alex Rims, which we expect would be quite a lot better than the heavy-duty unicycle rims that people have previously used to build 36" wheels.

[@triumphspitfire487]

Can't wait either. Let me know if you want a tall MTB rider, be glad to help.

[@esa4141]

Cant find no actual off road riding of 36/39” wheels. Is there any?

[@KandiKlover]

For 36” inch yeah. It’s just ever since KZbin started altering search results to push their political propaganda its become useless now so good original videos are hard to find. I’ve literally searched by exact name for videos and it still fails.

[@Panslapper]

32 inch might be a more feasible option...

[@SuperMgp11]

Well, if this becomes more common, all 29ers will probably become less and less available, as they will be replaced by 36ers. They're already doing it with 27.5 for the 29er.

[@altaloma7789]

Well, why stop at 36 inches. Why not go clear up to a meter? Yes, it creates even more compromises in one's componentry, but brings even more benefits. The drawbacks? Increased weight, wheel inertia, potentially reduced rim and wheel strength, gearing problems, frame geometry issues, etc. But the cycling world left imperial dimension standards behind long ago. Perhaps our electified brethren will adopt them. Time will tell.

hmmm... 45 should be new standard. and sitting between wheels in laying position. that should be a sight... ok time to sketch it

[@moto_rad]

Larger diameter wheels buckle much easier than smaller ones

[@d4r1us18]

listen guys ... fun with a 36 inch bike should be out of discussion. safety must come first. those frames should be TOTALLY redesigned. for such a large wheel the whole bike , wheather its a MTB or a roadie it must be worked on a full aerodynamic profile. the weight of the rider must be distributed symmetrically across the entire frame. which means a more prone position on the bike would be required. just the same as in triathlon. for enduro or downhill all it matters is the head tube angle to be 66 (VERY SLACK - DH ONLY) or 68.5 (BEST FIT FOR ENDURO). i have had plenty of bad expierience with bikes that were just badly done from the factory - either too slack or too short top tubes. also the longer the top tube it is the safer the ride. if u plan a total revolution in the bike industry at least do something different than what it already is. the future begins with small but PRECISE steps.

[@triumphspitfire487]

Just to point out, these bikes will primarily be for the biggest rider and tall people tend to suffer with back problems. If your suggesting a longer top tube and a more prone position you may design it away from the very people who would benefit the most.

[@d4r1us18]

@@triumphspitfire487 my point was not to design the bike away from those people. my point was for everyone (short to tall people) to benefit from an aerodynamic position and also a standard option (as in not aerodynamic - just like XC or AM ). dont get me wrong. for example - if a shorter rider wants a longer top tube just because he makes a choice of his own accord he will automatically benefit from an aerodynamic position which is a good choice.
