Reid, I agree with Patrick. I have used my Sam on trails around the bay area and it tends to feel similar to my rigid mtb days in the '80's with a little more bb drop. Conway was selling a set of new Smart Sams for $60 (https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/rbw-owners-bunch/d6TmbLyGdkg). That's what I've been using for trails and they're really fun. As a matter of fact, last time I was at Riv HQ, Will said that he had just been talking to Roman about how much he missed riding his Hillborne with Smart Sams. It's a fun set up and $60 would be a cheap investment to try it out. If you don't buy them, I might as a back up set since Riv doesn't carry them anymore. The only problem with that scenario is that they take so long to wear out.
