Tallest MTB rider in the world

[downunderdallas]

For all you tall riders struggling to get a bike to fit, just listening to a podcast with Luc Longley (the Howie Games Ep 39) and Luc said he's a MTB rider! Not many 7Ft + riders out there I'm guessing, I am also imagining he has a custom made bike but wow that would be a big frame!

How titular...

Reggie Miller is a mtb addict too apparently

Great article, I never knew Reggie's background, what a great story.

I want to see a photo of Longley riding!

Note that the Reggie article mentions one of the RATM members...which one of them was it that did the E-bike promos?

Can you imagine if we never got 29ers? (flame suit on)

Bill Walton (ex Celtics centre) dabbles. He's 7'2 IIRC.

Surely that armspan is a trick of the photo!

6' 11" according to wikipedia, should be riding a 26 inch really

Not the tallest but former heavyweight UFC fighter turned comedian/podcaster Brendan Schaub is right into mtbing at the moment. Started his own thing called Thiccc boy bike club, some big lads on bikes around.

Tim Commerford - the one mentioned.

Damn. I was hoping it was one of the others and the band was a hive of MTB riders!

An XXL in Santa is still more like a M in most other bikes though.
If Peaty and Minnaar used to ride little 26” 222’s, y’all need to man up and get longer stems.

I’ll get a longer stem if all the short arses go buy nicolai 29ers.

I’d almost do it to see you rock a 130mm stem.

I definitely get the raw end of that deal.
