Wow so many of us really are on the same trip. I spent the first half of 2020 on a progressive hardtail and absolutely loved it. I also tried Cushcore but ultimately swapped to Tannus, which I think suit my style more. Inserts were absolutely mandatory for hard hardtail riding. Otherwise I would be increasing pressure for support but without rear suspension I'd be skipping all over the place; inserts made for a happy balance I didn't think I'd find. I've been using EXO+ the whole time happily.
Now that I have a FS bike that I really like the question is what shape will my hardtail take now?
