Thank you, interesting indeed !
1 lb indeed is not going to really affect my choice. In any case, I will find a way to test the bikes I'm hesitating between before pulling the trigger. I'm trying to narrow it down.
I said it before, I have been extremely pleased with my warden ; And I am planning to buy a bike for the next 6/7 years. It has been fantastically reliable.
But warden is heavy (equiped as mine, that might explain reliability), and doesn't climb very well.
Is the chilcotin a better climber than the warden ? I read the evil was a pretty good climber for this type of bike.
On the other way of the enjoying the mountain, going down, I also read that the chilcotin was all about SPEED ; I like it, but I am not a racer, and find more pleasure in finding flow on tech/steep terrain.
Are they both comparable in this domain ? I think I read that Wreckoning would be a little bit easier at low speed.
And compared to sentinel ? no opinion ? Thanks again.
