That's basically where I'm at with my hardtail, but it sees so much use on pavement that I don't want to give up any more of that climbing utility, as that's really how it gets used most of the time... seems compltely asinine to complain about 'snappy response' for a bike that spends about half its timing hauling a trailer with a toddler in it, but it still ends up mattering.
Honestly, opening up tire selection to where I can stay on 29x2.25 Aspens/RekonRaces should be what pushes me the rest of the way in that direction, but I really enjoy how the AUW of this bike can be in the 26\# range, fully fat kid prepped with DH pedals on there, because that's the kind of idiot I am.
