interesting and definitely thorough! curious that you enjoyed it on the downs
so much, normally 68HA and 34 forks are the subject of derision on NSMB for
shore riding, understandably. why would you have run such high pressures with
the 29 tires? the 2.3 DHF is a light and small tire for that neck o the woods,
i'm confident the 2.5 DHF could be safely run closer to 20 and a thick casing
tire such as the Aggressor DD or Spesh grid Butcher or Hillbilly (my current
front tire, very thick and damp casing) the low 20's for a much better ride
and grip. Clearly this bike did something very right for you and must have
been a perfect fit. Love it when that happens.
