Wondering if anyone has had any success riding quite wide tires, say above 35mm on their 700c bike; without damaging the good narrow tired handling characteristics their bike was made for? Or as some posit, are there really no 700C/27 wheeled bike made that handle *as well* on wide tires? And last that 650b or 26inch wheeled bikes really are the wheel sizes meant for wide tires and good handling? Thanks, Jeremy Lieberman NYC, NY
