No, no problems with rear wheel tract...Hey Craig -<br /><br />No, no problems with rear wheel traction here. In fact it's probably the best rear wheel traction of any hardtail I've ridden. Tons of weight on that rear wheel most of the time. <br /><br />It's actually weird because you have to make more of a conscious effort on the downhills to get forward and attack so that you weight the *front* wheel enough.

Mine: 650b w/420mm chain stays and a 1x10 drivetrain. To describe it in one word: FUN! Wanna turn at speed? Just think about it, maybe twitch the hips a little. I love this kind of handling myself. Granted, most of my rides are 2 hours are less.
