Dear Patrick, Jobst was an early and vocal proponent of 28-622 clinchers, specifically the nicer slick-tire Avocets. Once those came available (he was involved in their testing and promotion), he was no longer riding (wider) tubulars and advocated for the continuation of the MA-2 rim extrusions, full ferrules/eyelets, and 36° 3X builds for 700C sporting use (he recommended 32° for 559 rims). I don't know where he would have landed on the current wide-tire movement/craze. He also had a reductionist approach (if it cannot be measured conveniently it doesn't exist) and was a cranky-sounding dude in his online persona.
