General question about the type of equipment people are using. Looking at the many videos available, and seeing many of the posts on ORAMM, I haven't seen people talk about what type of bike is better. Videos show people on full suspension, hard tails and I see the posts about people on SS. For someone riding this the first time, what would be the best advice? I have a 29er hardtail, and a CF full suspension at my disposal.
I have ridden all of these trails at some time or another on the full suspension bike, but am curious if the weight penalty would make the hard tail a better option for 60+ miles.
One other thing, what tires are people running? I usually use the WTB Weirwolfs, but they are heavy and are going to suck big time on the climbs. Would something like the Conti x-king be a better pick?
