I don't really care much about frame bags (I need my water bottles) but I will be very interested to learn how the Krampus handles rough terrain and how it rides, generally speaking.
I've used "29er"wheels shod with tires from 55 mm to 65 mm and, while I've enjoyed them all, I'm still debating the merits and tradeoffs of thinner/lighter versus fatter/heavier.
