Sliding dropouts on it. It's 34x17 at the moment but I'm dropping it to 21T and then I need to find wider bars for it and maybe ghetto tubeless the wheels (actually rear is probably TL ready).

I went from riding a 29er inbred (but with gears) on the trails near me to riding a Genesis Latitude (designed around a 130 fork...but I found a fork cheap at 150 and its fine) and it made them infinitely more fun. Specially steep stuff.
It would also take rigid fork and has multiple cage mounts. but I am in Ireland so cannot sell it it you.

Inbred a perfect divide bike then if the fit is good. Run it singlespeed or geared with 2.2 fast tyres. Even have the sliding drop outs in case of mud/mech disaster need for singlespeed.

From what I have seen most are set and forget Alexandra Houchin was on 36 x 19 which is pretty nails on some of the climbs (Indiana is 3620 mts). Chris Plesko came in 2nd(?) behind Mike Hall in 2016 was on 32 x 16. Cant remember what Jenn Hill used.
(Sorry assumed Inbred had a gear hanger!)
