Just tell me this please- you switched from L frame to XL, am I right? My Farley got stolen and it seems syrreal to get it back, but I am on the edge of buying new one, the 2024 model this Lava. But I managed to wait long enough, so all the L frames are gone, it is only XL. Did you notice any major differences between L and XL, while starting to ride? How tall are you, helps me to decide?🙏. Is the XL frame not getting on your hands, is the reach ok?

I love my fat bike. My local trails are plagued with sand and roots (and often, mud.). Throw in snowy winters here, and going fat has really expanded the quantity AND the quality of my riding experience. BUT ...I gotta say ...all your reasons for "switching" are basically because you were taking biking too seriously. You could have simply opted out of racing and 90% of your "reasons" would be gone. That's not the bike. That was you. I am glad you are enjoying biking again. Personally I will hang on to my hard tail mtb and my fattie, and ride whichever looks to be the most fun given the trail/conditions/my mood. Its important to ride what makes you smile - "comparison is the thief of joy" whether it is who can ride the fastest, who can land the most dangerous jump, or who has the most expensive bike. It is supposed to be FUN.

For me the bike is lighter so at slower speeds it’s a quicker to respond. When riding in snow I have the tire psi lower so it helps not feeling every jolt and jab….
