    Hello Jan,

    I’ve been enjoying the Blog and BQ… especially with regard to discussions of wheels size and tires widths. I’d like to add to the groundswell that offering a Hetre in a 26″x 1.9 (559 x 48) would fill in the remaining gap in the Grand Bois tire line. Lots of smaller touring frames and all older MTB’s use this size. I think riders would appreciate the opportunity to ride supple 559 tires. I’d buy 4 tires immediately…

    Thanks for being open to the feedback.
