> Fargo 32 is for riders seeking a drop-bar mountain bike with the new 32er wheel diameter. Available in the fall of 2026, in either a steel or titanium chassis, the Fargo 32 maintains its Salsa DNA with an abundance of cargo mounts, an off-road touring tuned geometry, and clearance for 32 x 2.4″ tires.

It's. Happening.

I guess this is for the increasingly tall lanklet freaks out there? I'm already kind of borderline on 700c because my parents didn't force feed me bovine growth hormone milk like a veal calf being fattened up for a japanese business lunch, but I've learned to deal with the clunky, oversize hoops on my bikes because tire selection is better

Motorcycles that go 200mph are running on 17 inch wheels yet somehow we're still fucking around with oversize bike wheels

I'm usually the last person to bitch about new standards coming out for no reason but in this case I literally do not understand what they are thinking. We need to re-examine the food supply, maybe RFK was right

Custom 36er chads still winning

Glass smooth tarmac racetracks and rough rocky rooty terrain favor very different tires
6,000lbs 1000 horsepower Baja 1000 trucks use 40" tires
Can Ams and Polaris RZRs, that are like half the weight of a Miata use 35"s,.and now they beat the Ultra 4400 class trucks at KoH
Holy fuck this place is still infested with the most vile toxic fucks in the world, in every single section, including bicycles lmaooooo

I can't wait to ride a 32", and I vividly remember the first ride ever on a 29er, and all the shit talking faggot would not stfu about why 26" is better than 29".
Dudes were like "Downhill will NEVER use 29" Okay but but Redbull Rampage will never ever use 29".


Bro it's simple physics
6' 6 figures 6" and girthy as fuck btw hope this helps

>6,000lbs 1000 horsepower Baja 1000 trucks use 40" tires
meanwhile average dirtbikes that aren't made specifically for the small-dicked to feel big and instead actually to go fast on gravel or dirt only use 19".

Everything in this post reeks of insecurity and Axe body spray
>>
>>2070785
Not sure where you get the insecurity from. He's calling out the boring grouches that frequent this board. The vast majority of the posters here are poorly socialized contrarian losers
>>
>>2070784
21s actually nigga
>>
>>2070786
Nta but he's right, you are insecure and smell of Axe, it's as clear as day
>>
>>2070794
And I'm not the guy who made that post
If you could read that would be evident. The fact that I actually do smell of axe and insecurity has nothing to do with this and was just a lucky guess.

lol manlet cope

>>2070784
unironically ive had actual motorcycle riders at work ask me how i feel safe on "thin"(normal 1.75") 26" tires going as fast as i do
>>
>>2070812
Why are you rolling on 1.75s? Is it the 80s where you live?
>>
>>2070816
I live permanently in Nineteen Ninety Never.

>mfw still rocking 26inchers and rim brakes
>>
>>2070820
>and rim brakes
i do this too but because i am a massive pussy unwilling to drill holes in my frame. mechanical disc brakes are vastly superior to rim brakes in literally every way from maintainability to field repairability and all fairweather performance metrics inbetween and the literal only reason to not use them is lack of mounting hardware
>>
>>2070822
I have the option for discs on my frame and run rims for old school feels and sketchyness
>>
>>2070824
rim brakes suck but i cant fault a nigga for doing shit just to do it; driving on the edge of traction just to feel alive
>>
32" isn't enough. If you aren't riding at least 40x0.60 you're a fucking faggot who has never raced in his life. There's a reason that every courier in New York uses 42" and up.
>>
>>2070822
You wouldn't catch me crashin out with unc brakes on my bike fr fr. Disk is bussin
>>
Gave myself a lot of time to think about this

There's no reason not to have a bunch of different tire sizes.

We have fifteen brands all making the same fucking slicks, XC, Trail, Enduro, and DH tires.
It's not that complicated to have:
16" tires
20" tires
24" tires
26" tires
27.5" tires
29" tires
32" tires
650b
700c

I mean damn there are HUNDREDS of different car tires

I say we stop fucking around with all these bullshit tread designs. We don't need a bunch of tire sizes, but I see no problem with adding 32"

You guys are a bunch of loser ass fucking chumps holy fuck
>>
Ugh my damn typo. We don't need a bunch of different widths, wheels widths, and treads. We need different total diameters for different people.

Also,.I know how right I am because I've been rocking 29x2.40 and 700x28's, 30s, 32's 35s 38s and 40s LONG before the whole gravel trend came, and now road bikes are rocking 32s
>>
But it's alright, Imma buy a 32 and tell you guys how it goes.

I also love how many tire compound options we have.

Toodalooo loooosers!!!! Hhhahahhahahaha

>hurrr durrr cars

>>2070774
Finally i dont have to look like im on a kids bike.
29 is borderline but it still look kinda wonky. Exited to try them out honestly.
I think a 32 touring bike or gravel hybrid with efficient tires would slay like crazy.
