I hope so. I think they are shooting themselves in the foot if you can't.

BTW, I would question the validity of the statements about better availability of tires, rims, and wheels in the 26" sizes in the US at least. It seems like 700C has rapidly become more available than 26" even in places like Walmart.

Personally, for me the availability of a 26" wheeled LHT isn't a plus, but it is nice that they listen to their customers.
