Afternoon All

I'm off on the An Turas Mor to Cape Wrath. It's supported as a ride (cheers, Gill) but some chunky 70+ mile days and wondering if it's Ti hardtail or 100mm full sus?

Many thanks for your thoughts

Paul

Aren't most folk doing it on gravel bikes? I can appreciate the added squish of FS at the end of a long day but it otherwise seems like overkill.

If you're sticking to the published route, definitely the hardtail from that selection.
There are options in a few areas that make more squish beneficial, briefly, but personally I'd not think twice about taking a rigid 29er.

Thanks both. Hardtail it is. The other option was a Cutthroat, but I do fancy a bit of squish.
