Even the experts can be wrong

I think maybe we are confusing 26" diameter mtn bike size wheels with 700x26c wide tires?

Nope - not me at least

But in case anyone is confused...

The Cross Check is 700c diameter wheels, and will take probably ~38's (maybe more...)

The LHT (at least in the size most women would ride) has 26" diameter wheels and will take very wide tires - I was thinking she might want to do something along the lines of what bikerhen has done
