[quote=sq225917 ]Let's see what comes out in the wash over the next few weeks.
The paint on the frames?
Because you feet/knees are an inch closer together.
Ah, yes, the q-factor issue. Fair enough. Personally I've had less knee pain (or at least no more) since getting the ICT. But then I do walk like a bow-legged duck, so maybe it's more of an issue for people with more normal legs.
And because for trail riding a rounded tyre does work better once lent over.
Isn't that more a factor of rim width? A 4.8" tyre on a 75mm rim would presumably be at least as round as a 3.8" tyre on the same rim.
But I'm not trying to pick a fight. I agree with you. Ride whatever works for you. But I've seen this comment about 4" tyres being better for trail riding than 5" ones so often that I'm tempted to try it. But then I think about what I like about my 5" fatbike and one thing I'm not thinking is "I wish it were less fat"
