dbrk you have me thinking now. I appreciate someone who posts enough information to make a concept understandable. I understand that wheel size, per se, makes insignificant difference in rolling resistance. I have the information in my bicycling science book to confirm that. For someone to give the ride quality that comes from having the 650 wheels is valuable information that you don't get from just looking at the science of it.
I know, for the kind of riding I do here in Sacramento that my road bike is set up the way I like it and I can put long miles on it. I ride on class 1 bike paths almost exclusively. The few times I ride city streets it reminds me that the trail is a much smoother ride. That said, I know that my bike would bog down if I were to hit soft dirt with those skinny tires. If I get into riding on unpaved stuff then I realize I have many more options no than I used to years ago.
