Just doesn't pencil out.<br />Basically the same outer diameter, but less versatility. How much less rolling mass<br />are we talking about here? I see this as the typical "they're doing it, so we're doing it too" arms race. <br />Smart money is stick with the 26" and swap back and forth between 4" and 4.8" configuration at will. Not to mention to get the 27.5" you're forced into a different price tier - bluto, etc. <br /><br />The good thing is that the frames will accommodate either, so if I choose (if I become curiouser and curiouser) I can get a 27.5" setup as a second, summer only wheel set at some point, or the person with the 27.5's can throw a 26x4.8 setup on.<br /><br />On another note, the new Barbegazi looks promising. Knard-like knobs down the center for fast rolling, larger more widely spaced knobs on the outside. Might be a 'do it all' tire, as much as that can exist.<br /><br />Gambit21Gambit21https://www.blogger.com/profile/14082012758079656936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-47265976947700594092015-04-23T10:04:01.549-05:002015-04-23T10:04:01.549-05:00@ huskerldf - I would size down to the 55, but aga...@ huskerldf - I would size down to the 55, but again, going to a shop and getting a qualified person to size you is always a better bet. That and riding one first.

You say that Warbirds seem to run large, which makes me lean toward 55. I am 5'10" tall, inseam 31-32". Do you have suggestions on 55 or 56 Warbird 105?huskerldfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040321832253748026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-48346697778255858452015-04-10T13:30:09.944-05:002015-04-10T13:30:09.944-05:00If those Farelys have more tire clearance than the...If those Farelys have more tire clearance than they do now, that would remove the one thing about them that I am not a huge fan of.Tyler Loewenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769049502358724572noreply@blogger.com
