How many times have you heard those words uttered? “So what do you think about wheelsize?”

Uplift queues, pub toilets, races, the local bike shop to name but a few, have all had their air tainted by the whiff off bullshit that often accompanies such conversations. That’s not to say people can’t have an opinion but it can get a bit boring can’t it? Use the wheel size that suits you and don’t fear change seems to be a pretty good mantra from my point of view.

Cotic have always had an edge when it comes to their videos with gems such as Late for Work and Rocketman along with their more recent moving picture Size Matters.

With one foot firmly set in the Peak District the other holds fast in the 26 inch wheel camp, yes Cotic do make 29er’s but Cy Turner (Cotic head honcho) firmly believes #26aintdead. The video you see above is proof.

If you want to be in with a chance of winning a nice ’26 ain’t dead’ tee then simply fire off a Tweet to @dirtmagazine and @cotic with a photo telling us why 26 ain’t dead and you could be in with a chance of winning one of 3 tees. Make sure you use the hastag #26aintdead too!
