So far on rides of up to 3 hours (all I've tested so far), I am definitely faster on mixed terrain in poser SS mode on the Hunqapillar, which has racks and 2.25" Smart Sams for beefy trails and backpacking on said trails. And I'm not more tired either. I'm definitely getting stronger after just a few rides. Over 9-12 hours, I don't know. We'll see. Grin.
