Thats at the top of the Blackcraigs descent, would normally just ride past. Kona climbs fine, good on the more technical stuff but the extra weight is apparent on the drags. Performed quite well, the heavy tyres allowed me to hit the rocks quite hard without fear of p*******s, its a keeper just now, going to lighten it up and use for the longer distance stuff like 10UTB for instance and maybe Torridon. I'll probably rob the Salsa of some lighter bits. Certainly the wheels and maybe the combo shifter/brakes off of the 29er. Could probably loose a lb with the bars/stem/post/saddle.
