found full fat noticeably harder on climbs than a standard mtb
Yes sort of until it gets muddy then the fatty just leaves standard tyres, even mud specific ones floundering
It's quite a different experience between 650b+ and full fat,
I've only tried full fat or 29+ so can't comment

I was rolling down a hill on my cannondale with 2.3 tyres on and my mate on his charge cooker stopped peddling and I literally just pulled away . The resistance is quite massive
You could say the same about an MTB vs a Roadbike/Hybrid. Doesn't mean one is betterer than the other. They're just different.

nemesis - are you running 650b+ on an old Swift or one of the newer frames?

Whoever suggested Facebook is a legend. 2 month old Maxi 1 paid for and awaiting delivery next week. Yippee.

Old, original Swift. I started a thread here with details:
