Ran this knobby Nick 3.0 /2.8 B+ on a giant trance XO and then swapped to my Santa Cruz LTC with incredible results. The Giant was a little lackluster in the handling and peddling department but when put on the Santa Cruz I had the opposite results, the Santa Cruz loves the lower bottom bracket and rails turns and down hills with superior traction.

Do you notice a big difference in pedaling?

It looks like you were up in the Lagunas also..

That is in the Lagunas at the bottom of Gato. I went riding with my regular buddies on Friday and this set up climbed as good as the old bike, which was surprising, but descended way better which was also surprising and a blast
