rode this with the 650b wheels yesterday and the mud built up so badly its rubbed the paint off on the inside of the NDS Chainstay. I don't mind as its alu and you can't see it, but lesson learned. Monster cross is for gravel and dry rides only now. Maybe I'll swap out the tyres for 47c byways / 45c riddlers , which will give me a bit more clearance at the expense of tread.
Other than that its great, the brakes in particular are fantastic, tyres are surprisingly quick on road too.
