How Much Have Mountain Bike Wheels Changed? | MTB History

Описание: Owen Coutts takes us on an in-depth journey through the remarkable evolution of mountain bike wheels, from the repurposed cruiser ‘klunkers’ of the 1970s to the cutting-edge carbon rims and versatile sizes we enjoy today. He looks at the early adoption of 26-inch rims and the experimentation that eventually led to 29er and 27.5" wheels, as well as the latest hub standards, freehub designs, and modern carbon engineering shaping the future of MTB!
