You want to have word with a few manufactures then ;0)

My point being that putting slicks on a MTB gives you something so close to an average hybrid that it makes little difference. Except that you've still got a MTB for the times that you do what to go off road, where as a lot of hybrids use parts, like the forks for instance, that aren't really made for that.

I agree with most of that but since the 700c wheel size is part of what actually defines a hybrid a bike with 26" wheels simply doesn't qualify.

'Manufacturers' get it wrong on a regular basis.

I read a test somewhere, I can't remember where unfortunately, where they concluded that there was very little effective difference between 26'' and 700c wheels. It was swings and roundabouts.

No wonder it's confusing, your head is in a permanent daze!
