i like it a lot!

They are good. I only run one on the back since i am running a 24" rim. Reason being is that i want to keep the rolling weight down reasonably. Yet since it is a 3.0 tire, it's like a 26" with a 2.0 tire on. So basically i get an okay weight, but since it's a 3.0, i can run down to about 11 psi, so its like suspension on a hardtail since the tire is so tall. It all works out.

i swapped some parts. now I have a diabolus handlebar, a thomson post, with a salsa clamp, KORE pedals, and a mr dirt gizmo chain guide. got it down to 40.82. Oh and I cut the ridiculously long housing and hoses

Its not a hardtail, its a hucktail. Basically i just wanted a hartail the was just as capable as you average freeride bike . . . . Success!!!
