Great minds think alike. I posted that at the same time as you.

Predictions or wishful thinking? We will see. As long as there is a choice I'm good.

The only things I reckon he has right are wide tyres and e-bikes, and
around my way he's two years behind the times on both, so it wasn't hard.

Round my way Heine is ten years behind the times. And that's for 60mm tyres.. If you define "wide tyres" as 37mm and up, as someone just did on another forum I read, Heine is 30 years, a whole generation, behind my times.

Use the tire width suited for your riding style and road conditions you ride on. It has always been like that. Never used tires less than 2 and 2.5 inch wide on my ATB's. Never used tires less than 32 mm wide on my commuter. The difference might be that at the moment you can good quality wider tires.. Don't understand the whole fuss about tire width.

For a while, the fuss was "No, of course you can't put 28s on that bike. It's
designed for 25s. It doesn't have clearance for 28s."

I remember asking what could possibly be the advantage in designing a bike to
prohibit reasonable tire choices. I don't remember any reasonable answers.

No advantage, per se, but a fork a great deal larger than the tire
does look sort of "dorkie" and, for the weight weenies, there is a
very small weight advantage to the narrower crown.

Remember that "back in the day" narrow tires were pretty much
"standard". I used to use "sew ups" that might have been 23mm and I
have seem but never used 19mm tires :-)

"Don't understand the whole fuss about tire width." This surprises me. It isn't the width by itself, it is the width and the associated possibility of lowering the pressure that comes with width, seriously increasing the rider's comfort. There are additional benefits of greater tyre width and lower pressure, for instance decreased rolling resistance. One interrelated result that interests me particularly --because in automobiles my primary interest was in suspensions -- is the noticeably better roadholding and handling characteristics of the wider and less highly pressurised tyres as compared to those which are narrower and more highly inflated.

Andre Jute
I'll try anything once

Objectively a few grammes may be saved in that a narrower fork crown will require less length of metal. An obsessed weight weenie might consider that important.

Andre Jute
Not a weight weenie
