I am running a 42mm tire on my Dahon Dash now, and it has a traditional diamond-shape geometry, no proprietary anything, and I can probably go up to a 55cm tire. Again, you folks need to get out of your BF tunnel vision. What's with the sect-, cult-mentality?

Hmmmm? Surely you must know by now, that there are other factors that determine whether a tire will fit the frame.

What makes you think a diamond frame is faster?
