Curious: have any of you ridden both 700C and 650B fattish tires in sandy
terrain, and can you say how the extra ~4 cm difference in height affects
floatation, or for that matter, cushioning over small bumps like washboard
or tree roots?
Keeping all things equal, of course: similar tires, widths,
26X4 is far better. Q factor be damned.

I agree with that! I did have a Karate Monkey with 29 x 2.1” tires that I
really didn’t like. Not enough float on sand and fairly harsh on the super hard
dried clay we have on a lot of our trails here.
26 x 4” was so much better all around for me. My 27.5 x 3” is very comparable
but loses a bit
