all those wheel tyre combinations have pretty much the same rolling circumstances. So…

That's kinda the point, will leave the bike in roughly the right place whilst giving you options over tyre width that's suited to what you want to ride. Trying to do that over 26"-700c and with rim brakes is fucking stupid though.

Sorry I meant, I don’t get the hype.
If it’s got discs you can do it to pretty much with any modern gravel bike. So why the WOW! look at the new. My old MTB 26er has rocked 26s 650b and 700c in its life and so has my old 70’s pathracer (all be it fixed and brakeless shh)

Yeah, I think the 650-700 swapping with discs is fine. Trying to shoehorn in 26" is stupid.

Most 700x40 frames don't have the chainstay clearance for 26x2.3
