To start things of, I love your in-depth reviews of non-mainstream bikes and components and actually bought a pair of MT Trail Sport on your recommendation.
There is one issue, though: It feels like your skills and knowledge of the local trails are so far beyond mine (and those of many other people) that a lot of your conclusions dont apply to us. Forgive me, but any statement about suitable gear spec from someone who cleans No Quarter on a single speed seems suspect to a mere mortal like me. Similarly the Growler ridden by you might be perfectly suitable for all the gnar, but would the same be true under someone who doesn't casually ride (double?) blacks on a rigid bike?
