I fully see the irony. Still think big tyres on skinny steel frames look awesome.
That being said, been trying to make the Muddy Fox a bit zippier, and this definitely helped. 650b x 47c is probably the sweet spot for me, in terms of speed vs comfort (currently running 42c).
Tijs-
Sounds like a sensible choice and a good compromise. I often have a hard time deciding whether I pick a zippy road bike or a 26er for medium-long rides. I really like the 26ers on Brandenburg’s sandy tracks but it’s not exactly great fun for the 20k it takes to get out of Berlin on tarmac roads...

He said, right after he decreased the tyre size on his bike... jokes aside, the fox is looking really good. How do you like it with the 650s, was it worth the effort?
