Jared Graves raced two years of EWS on a Stumpjumper...
But if its a almost DH Type Enduro the 38 and Zeb will definitely help you.
I ride the 38 and its been treatin me very well compared to a 36 on my 27,5 and 29 enduros.
you could argue he would've flatted less on a frame with more travel but that was before tire inserts became a big thing i think.
and we're talking about jared rides-a-trail-bike-at-dh-worlds graves...
Probably nothing for most of us. He doesn’t need the forgiveness of that extra travel I’m guessing.

Finn: "Ok."
later...
Specialized: "Oh shoot! Did you win? We were thinking more like 15th."
We never looked at the new Enduro the same
there'll be recap sometime though
Finn had 3 results in the top 20 last year, 4 results in the 50's, and one 34. I still regard him as exceptional but I wouldn't qualify him as a top DH rider...yet.
Can't win then.. I though everyone needs to participate every event?
1) pinkbike posted results without using Scribed but they are so pixelated you know they took the picture with an IPhone 3 they found in a drawer somewhere,

Bas Van Steenbergen ahead of Jesse Melamed - what?
Can't wait for the rest of the races (and the TV events). This series is going to be a treat.
Actually he was a bit behind the top on every stage, so either he wasn’t up to speed or the other W as just faster...
