I rode the Surly 1x1 on the same trails yesterday and totally found myself running out of brakes (it has cantis) and manoeuvrability (it has a huge, non sloping top tube frame).
I can’t see me making much use of the Surly as a mountain bike now I’ve got the Hummus set up like this so I’m thinking about some 2”+ slicks, big wide mudguards, maybe strip the dynamo out of its 700c rim and rebuild it on a 26” rim...fbnpna fodder.
