To be clear on the chain stay length difference between the two effecting trail riding, of the 50 miles or so of single track I ride regularly, I'd say there are about ten spots of technical rocks and/or roots that a longer chain stay would make (I imagine) challenging. Say 30 feet of trail per spot, so it would effect a tenth of a percent of my trail riding. I'd call that a non-factor. That's roughly the amount of extra trail I have to walk instead of ride because I'm running Snoqualmie tires instead of Racing Ralphs, and I happily do that till winter (which arrives in September here. Grin.)
