So a little update, Had a few rides on her now, one trail centre and some more local natrual stuff.
She is fast and comftable, also very manoverable compared to other 29ers i've had. Now i have the shock sorted and set it up (which has taken a long time) its brilliant, climbs very well.
I have managed to break 2 mech hangers
one by the chain getting stuck because it was full of wet sandy nastyness from bedgbury and one when the jocky wheel fell out and again got the chain stuck
The Hope M4's that i said i was going to have off of kev i have had to cancel due to a change in the mortgage but i should be able to get a new set of brakes at some point, fingers crossed?
Anyway this turned up today
