Cuz then there would only be...one model;? 2.25" tires are not needed on every bike. It's overkill for people who only ride bike paths and nice roads, which many do. And in the 700C size, I for one don't love the handling. Why not make every bike fit 2.35"?
There is something beautiful about a bike with skinny old 32-35mm tires. And if you designed everything around 2.25, that bike would suffer--bb too low, goofy spacing, etc. Do you have one of the models that takes the golden 2.25" tire size? If so, enjoy! It can do anything! If not, take all that nice cash and buy one that does, or order up a custom 2.25 Cheviot, Homer, etc. But of course then it would not be a Cheviot, Homer, etc. On Friday, February 1, 2019 at 10:12:39 PM UTC-5, Drw wrote: > > I mean this as a legitimate question.
