Yet another wheel standard. Sigh.

That's dumb, they should just do what the author suggests and use 700c + MTB tires.

Here I thought 29" already looked a little ridiculous.

This is a 30.5” wheel. It’s 38mm/1.5” larger than the existing 700c/29” standard size.

Basically what a 29er is to a 27.5”.

Car wheels keep getting larger, so why not bikes I guess.
