32T is a little small. I plan to go to 34T for less shifting and a more usable range.

It changes it to 63.5-degrees. It is a bit slower on lower grade stuff with nominal gains on the chunky sections of trail. For really fast or steep sections with lots of mid-sized hits, it is radical. I will more than likely drop it back to 150mm for a better all-round feel.

Very tempted to try a 160 when building up a scout soon (hopefully). Thanks for the insight!
