Pretty similar. Still just as flickable as with 24s and what not.
The one thing I did notice is that its easier to do nose manuals with the 26s over the 24s.
Yea, its quite tight. I smoked my knee off my front tire a couple times on hop 3s. It is a bit longer than with 24s because of the position of the axle in the dropout, but it doesn't make a huge difference. At least, I don't really notice it.
True say, It's good to hear. Also I think it makes more sense to add this picture. Since we dont sell your new frame maker(yet!) and we mostly sell Dartmoor....
