Ok. While I am for just about anything that will advance the 650b wheel size, MBA has, in my mind, made a major gaff in it's attempt to coin the term "Killer B".
Sure, call your "shootout", a thinly veiled ad for KHS, "Killer B", but DO NOT attempt to change what people refer to the size as...there is already a growing debate between 650b and 27.5...we do not need this.
This is from the same folks who used to refer to All Mountain bikes (...or was it Slope-style? ) as "Black Diamond" bikes. Richard Cunningham is still getting heat on Pinkbike.com for that, even though he claims he had nothing to do with it.
Further more, a magazine that cannot accept the metric system should not have the license to coin terminology. Whocompares the weights of their tires in ounces? I admit, there are a few places where standard measure still rule, such as overall bike weight, but for components, shoes, lights, helmets? C'mon...
So, let's nip this in the bud right here.
