That’s why my goal is to change the minimum number of items - beyond standard cockpit preferences - and ride the bike on Tech-C terrain - I want to test it in riding situations that are fun on this bike. But also, I know plenty of riders tackling North Shore black trails on true XC bikes and I want to talk about that experience. I think, given where I ride my hardtail, I’m equipped to have fun using it for more aggressive downhill riding too but without changing so many parts that, as you note, I should just be on a bigger bike.
