Fun video with Steve racing his old 26" wheeled 2006 Santa Cruz V10 against his new 29er…. 7 seconds was all there was in it by the end! Interesting to hear his comments in the differences between the two

Pretty good conclusion at the end

Having watched Mr Pete ride a fair few times i reckon he could ride a log down a trail and be quick. There is a reason he rode at the top of the game for as long as he did. Wonder what Mr minnaar would do in the same experiment?

Thanks for posting that, always fun watching Peaty.

All the hype and cost of modern vs old, for a grand 7 seconds , Though like above, if you can ride a bike fast you should be able to ride any fast, i suppose modern bikes help the less capable in most situations.
