Just to muddy the waters. I run a big 2.4″ Conti Trail King [essentially a
2.5″ tire] on my 26er to get a bigger out diameter and the improved roll over
through tech. When I get my next FS bike it will likely be a 650B or possibly
a 29er. In either case I won't put a massive 2.4″ tire on my bike because the
wheel will be bigger and my wheel weight and inertia won't be bigger.
Just something to consider….you won't necessarily just use the same width tire
as you change wheel sizes.
Thanks for taking the time to write the article!
