I find riding rigid/hardtail as much as I can just makes the full-susser feel so easy to ride. I'm doing a 320 mile ride over easter, with 40,000 feet of climbing, loads of technical off-road and visiting most of Wales' trail centres en route. It will be brutal, on 29er hardtail, loaded with bikepacking kit/food/water.

Can't wait.
