It lives! Nice one velo, would be a shame to instantly consign it to the Bike Station.
Washed the iDrive after Kirroughtree, and contemplated it's future. Will try and cure it's sketchy front-end with a decent tyre (Kenda Nevegal Stick-E, well I like them). Some more air in the rear shock too I think. It seems like I spend the first half of every ride on it trying to get comfortable (is the frame too big for me, or is it just the high BB?) and find some confidence, typically after the front-end washes out. Then the 2nd half of the ride, it all seems to click and it begins to make sense. If I can't get my head around it, an On-one 456 may be in my future.
Also finished putting in a new headset on the Rockhopper, as well as new 16t cog on the rear and dropping the half-link from the chain. Also swapped out the bars, seat and seatpost so I can use them on the Stumpie. Looks right although it wasn't what I originally was planning, but means I can now move on with the build.
