    May be he's refering to the actual tyre diameter, which will change depending on the tyre width.

    26" wheel has a 22" diameter
    650b ........... 23" diameter
    29" ...............24.5" diameter

    the overall tyre diameter could easily be +/- 1" on any of these wheels. Good to see they now have a 650b to offer.

    Ah, the 650b from On One when Brant said they'd never make one as there is no advantage to them over 26"!

    They are bad sometimes though. I bought some Revelations from them earlier in the year that were advertised as being for 26" wheels when they were in fact 29er forks. Someone just copy and pasted the script from the Rock Shox website and didn't think to change the fork size!

    Can't believe they've not edited that yet, evidently nobody reads the blog as they don't give a fuck what Brant says?

    Unless of course he's actually referring to a bike that is actually fucked up due to their crap QC process...

    On-one's website seems to be run by a 12 year old, it's always flakey, though can be great, like the time I bought a couple of seatposts listed for £0.00 (yes FREE!)

    A farked titus fire line. Actually, now I think about it it sounds quite painful.
