I think a wide (>40mm) plush, low rolling resistance and durable tire is the thing that's hugely missing from the 559 tire size! There should be a 26" Hetre!!! Instead of doing 650B conversions on 700C bikes, getting plush-tire conversion for 26" mountain bikes should be all the rage! I bet more people have a MTB from the 90's hanging in their garage than a skinny-tired 700C bike!
