Riding big wheels in Switzerland Frankly, because bigger is better

Back in September of last year, I was excited about all the new 29” tire threads on display at Eurobike. Unfortunately, it’s been next to impossible to get my hands on anything new this year. As far as 29” tires, it seems like the world has run out of rubber. At least none of it has landed on European shores. had the Bronson 29x2.2 on their site out of stock for an eternity. I put it on my wishlist and watched the expected arrival date continuously being pushed further out. March, April, May … they finally received them now at the end of July. Not much difference with . I placed an order with BikeGuru in April without checking if they had them stock and I’m still waiting for the darn tires to ship. If bikes are supposed to conquer the old continent, manufacturers better bring on the rubber. An army without shoes won’t march into battle.
