The biggest influence Grant has had on me is tires. I now look at 40mm tires as skinny. 2" tires are borderline and for anything offroad, I want at least 2.3-2.5" and my next purchase might even be a "29+" bike (ie, Krampus or ECR or Jones Plus) with 3" tires. If Schwalbe made a Big Apple or Animotion in those sizes....it wouldn't even be a question.
