I rode Banff to Whitefish on the Great Divide last year. Beautiful territory with some steep hills! I rode my Bridgestone XO-3 with 1.7 inch knobbies and had no problems. And V-brakes were fine. I even think my touring bike with 37's would have been fine for 98% of the trail. That said, I'll probably go with my 29er next time.
