I think of it as a 30% performance increase downhill at the cost of %3 performance decrease climbing, which is a trade-off your average mountain biker is happy to make.
Really? I feel like I'm more willing to slow down a little on the downhill if I could get a bit more power on the upside of the arroyo. I guess I get the advantages of bigger diameter wheels, wider tubeless tires and no front derailleur, but it seems like I always get stuck behind these slow guys on squishy newschool bikes when all I want to do is rip. I'd love to do a lap on a 29er Karate Monkey just to see if that 29er hardtail is the next evolution for me. Also... it is time I acquire a bicycle with disc brakes. That seems fun.
