After Rowan's lackluster WORS performances last year (he was girl'd a few times), we decided it was time to look into his equipment (and eat our vegetables). He is rolling big 16er wheels now. After countless hours spent reading the MTBR forums, it was time to sip the 16er Kool-Aid. Sure, they will never accelerate as quickly as his 12" wheels did, nor be as light; but the improved angle of attack should help him carry more momentum over the obstacles that aren't on the kids courses. They may also make for an easier weening from the training wheels.
