2-6 Represent
26-inch wheels are okay with me. Really. I can admit
it. I don’t need any sort of 12-step program to convert
me to 29-inch, nor do I want one. Hey, I’m absolutely
not bashing 29’ers here. I think they are rad too, but
what’s with the world suddenly turning on those of us
that are still spinning the 2-6? It seems like every bike
festival or event I go to people are like “So why are you
still riding a 26?” as if my, ahem, normal-sized wheels are
a scarlet letter or something. Well I got news for ya, folks. My
trusty Ala-Carte eats up singletrack with as much exhilaration and thirst for
dirt as the next knobby monster.
Can’t we all get along? Imagine a world where we could live
together. Big and little wheels rolling the singletrack together in
dirt-loving harmony. An El Mariachi and an Ala Carte on the
trail, embraced in a loving OX Platinum hug. Brings
tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

CroMoto Fork
Retrogrouches rejoice! Our matching CroMoto
Fork is the perfect complement to our Ala Carte

true. It features removable cantilever bosses
and an ISO disc brake mount.
For the throwback folks who prefer the pure
ride only a rigid steel fork can deliver, we offer
the CroMoto Fork as an aftermarket product in
goes-with-anything Black.
