well, i'm running 70mm. my XC, or trail bike as I call it, is setup more as all mountain (70mm stem, riser bars, bash guard replacing the big ring), and my all mountain is setup as a smallish DH (6.7" in the back). i'm also running remote dropper posts on both of those whips. adds to the overall weight to be sure but really enhances the riding experience.

nice bike, BTW.
