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).
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...
