I made the jump up to 37's from 35's in the past seven months. I ran for a few months without assist before adding the assist. I LOVE it.
I always felt like I was fighting the wheel with the 35's and it was even worse with the 37's. Then the first time out in the trails and letting my 17yo daughter drive it SUCKED!!! She was almost in tears as I was out spotting her up a hard section. She couldn't turn the wheel and at one point snapped back and caught her thumb. No problems at all now with the assist and she would prefer it to be her daily driver!!!
IMHO, it should be part of the build process when going to 37's for safety sake.
