I can attest to the 26x3 being a much more “cushy” ride than the 26x2.5 I talk about in this thread. I hope Terry (someone with the leg power to push it with ease) tries a 26x3 on his GUni. Double the weight in hub and now nearly double the weight in tire. Like the Oregon (as far as the 3" Duro compares to a 3.8" Larry) on (geared) steroids! I’d loan him my 26x3 Duro but I am still contemplating switching back.
