And, DAMN, those were some incredible 27er skills displayed last night.
I've never seen anyone recover from an imminent endo with the rear
wheel so high. Why the **** do morons on a group ride think it's ok to
suddenly stop in the middle of the road when there are hundreds of
people behind them?

And tell me again why a 29er is called a 29er when the wheels are
smaller than these 27ers:

Inquiring minds want to know.
