Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. Remember when Riv was one of the few (only?) to offer a bike spec’d with 650B? They were committed to getting some tires out there, and though we had to wait a while, the industry followed their lead. If Riv wee to design another great 26” wheeled all-rounder, perhaps it would spark interest in great 26” tires. I for one don’t think 26” is dead just yet. What comes around….
