Gotta try everything, never. The steering doesn't suck at all with the 2.7/2.5 combo on mine. Staircases are smooth as glazz. The one thing I AM finding out is that they are alot of work...that was to be expected.
I got out with B2B and a few other people today and like I told him "If I don't get in much better shape by summer, I'm gonna have to go back to the 2.5/2.35 combo. They kinda kicked my butt...especially in KS. I mean come on, man...it's KS. You can get by with 1.95's all day long. It sure is fun though when you DO hit the crappy terrain...soo smooth, man.
The funny thing is that we got about 1/4 mile in the woods or so and hit "mud-over-ice" type of crap. It totally sucked. My foolishly massive meats were picking up so much crap and packing it in to the frame...it was just wrong. We ended up riding some gravel and pavement over to a wood-chipped trail. It was fun trying to hang with B2B and his "squa" with this silly thing, hahaha.
