32in Wheels. Its coming weather you like it or not. So Pick a tire size and be a jerk about it

I posted this in the Gravel thread, figure here would be okay. Mainland China has some molds for aero’esk 32" gravel rims:

Jake Pantone from ENVE strongly hinted that they are working on a 32" wheel as well. Obviously they don’t want to take away from sales of their G-SES wheels but it does seem like the next 12 months are going to bring a lot of change.

Is it boost or still running road hub spacing, does anybody know?

Rather Or Not! Weather is a tad different. I thought you were going down the road of it’s the season 32s.

I think they look silly TBH but I’m sure will get used to it. My XS bikes all look a little silly with huge 29inch wheels and tiny frames. One reason manufacturers take photos of the medium frames not their XS or XL ones probably.

THIS doesnt look good?!

Looks like a 29er! How tall are you?

Sounds like a line from that Randy Newman song.

I would prefer a more horizontal top tube in the type of bike I’d be looking for. It doesn’t look bad/out of place with those 32’s, however.

Its an XL frame and im 6’3"

I don’t want to be a jerk about tire sizes, but I would like to be a jerk about the incorrect spelling of ‘weather’ in the title of this post. :joy:

i expect 32ers will be shown in large or maybe xl sizes as even medium will look a bit out of proportion, at least initially. that maybe says all that needs to be said - wheel size is logically proportional to frame/rider size but the industry probably won’t support multiple sizes so a happy medium is required, whatever size that might be

Actually “weather” is the correct spelling of weather. I believe what you mean is the incorrect spelling of “whether.”

Not in my eyes

I think that is true.

totally this ^^

Congrats, you out-pedanticated me. :joy: (that’s definitely a word)

32" did not win Outbound. 32 is dead, long live aero :grinning_face:

I am waiting for a 35" with full aero faring now.

Well, it won Unbound XL…

XL wheels :joy::joy:
