I had a thunk when I was bashing around at Fort Custer Recreation Area on my 650b-wheeled, custom Curtlo Softail yesterday. I don't doubt that larger wheels bridge closely spaced bumps and help smooth the ride over washboards and root beds, and add a bit of stability. But I wonder how much of the cush they are supposed to offer is due to the longer wheelbase/chainstays? Remember the trend in 26" mtb's where the chainstays kept getting shorter and shorter, so they'd "climb better?" Getting the wheel right up under the saddle like that does tend to give them a bit of a jackhammer ride...
