My Soul has those Bontrager XR4 tyres front and back - great tyre if your fork has the clearance for it! (I had 100mm Rebas before the Fox Float 140s and it was very tight, 7mm clearance if I remember correctly). Plenty of space at the back of the Soul - and they do indeed measure 27" in outside diameter when at ~32psi.
Probably a silly question - but does anyone know why the wishbone seat stay, on the small frames, is welded to the seat tube slightly above where the top tube meets the seat tube?
Is this to increase strength? or purely an aesthetic thing?
Because of the angles everything comes in at on the small, the top tube weld would run into the wishbone weld if they were more in line.
