>>13702821, I was riding 29er and 700c tires in the city as a tall person and when I switched to 26x2.0 it was a big improvement. I didn't think it would be because I figured the rotational mass would be able the same as a 29er, but it felt way easier to spin up even with heavy cheap rims. In that case it was Marathon Supremes, going from 700x35 to 26x2.0
>>1370289I think there is something to this.
If you look here:
https://www.bikecalc.com/wheel_size_mathYou can see a 700x28 tire has a diameter of 2130.00mm. You could switch it to a 24"x3" BMX tire and have 2071.57 diameter or an insane 24"x3.8" and have only 2199.24 diameter. I'm sure someone else has thought about this... the first brand I would think to do it would be Crust but they seem a little too serious for something like that. Here's a custom ebike with 24x3"
