I don't know anything about the OP's bike; I was just pointing out that Calsun's statement about shorter stays helping climbing is generally accepted as true, especially on the "
mainly loose dirt/gravel" that the OP rides. Likewise the tubeless tires suggestion.
Not sure why you accused Calsun of "shilling," but you seem to be in a mood so I'll leave you to it.
