Patrick, Based on the trails in your picture, you might really enjoy the 3" tires of the 29+ bikes. I've been experimenting with a 29+ on the front of my rigid mountain bike, and it's been good so far, significantly smoother than the 2.2" Schwalbe Rocket Ron I had on previously--however, I can't give a definitive thumbs up until I can hit the dry trails... in the summer. Man, that seems like a long ways away.
I put up some pics and comments here, along with bonus hatchet news! http://bikingtoplay.blogspot.com/2014/01/bike-and-hatchet-update.html Eric Daume Dublin, OH On Sun, Jan 5, 2014 at 11:50 AM, Deacon Patrick <[email protected]> wrote: > Good point, Steve.
