Title: 32 inch wheel frames?
Post by: repoman on May 26, 2026, 07:28:39 AM

Seems like this is the new thing that will be pushed until it becomes the norm. Are there any 32" gravel or road racing frames starting to become available by OEM yet?

I'd wait a bit until manufacturers find the sweet spot of geometries for these wheels. Unless you're looking for newest, shiniest toy as soon as it is released, there's no china frame that would clear 32" wheels yet.

Unless you are 185+ cm it is too early to get into 32 IMO. Otherwise expect the frame to be stupidly harsh to ride and with sloppy geometry.
