I've been peeking at both CL and FB. This was more an exercise to allow me to know what to look for in a bike. FWIW, I've been running Island Lake and Chelsea, and Bloomer once, its mostly Island Lake where I just can't keep up. Too many areas I just don't feel comfortable coming down onto a rigid fork.

It's more a suspension issue to me. Low tire pressure (undampened) just doesn't match dampened suspension
