Perhaps this was approached from the wrong
angle, if one desires wide tires, perhaps one should get a 28" MTB steel frame and only have the gear loaded the same way? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

Do you have smaller chainrings on that to compensate for the wheel circumference, like with the small wheelers, only the other way around? -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

But this is me just projecting the project based on my general experience and what I've read. I never did any randonneuring whatsoever on any bike! -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 |

As for wanting wide tires, which seems to be your only goal. That is easy. With the advent of 29", 700C mountain bikes, there are many wide bike tires for every wheel size. You can get many 26" or 700C bikes that will accommodate 1.9" or 2.1" wide tires. That is 48 and 53 mm wide. I'm guessing there are slightly skinnier 700C tires available too. |

You got me all figured out and from what it seems it didn't take you very long either. Now it seems that you’re being intentionally obtuse. Take his advice or don’t. Time to kill this thread and go for a ride... -- duane |

Brilliant rim and drivetrain design, but it seems to disprove the "big wheels/wide tires have less rolling resistance" hypothesis. |
