What a great ride! No reason not to have that bike out there on the trails!
I know what you're saying about the tire limitation on the Bombadil. My arm-chair quarterbacking says that it should have been designed to accept the 650b 2.3 Neo-Motos. The 2.0 max seems like an oversight... I think the 700c sized bikes can take 2.3 though???
