Sad day Rob, but one out always leaves room for one in
Still can't believe you ditched the pug though, you did some of your best riding on that bike. Some rides you didn't even fall off.

Spent the afternoon hooning around Glentress. Gorgeous day, fast trails. They're finally doing some new sections. There's a fantastic new red that replaces Pennels Vennel, just up from berm baby berm. It's steep and bermy a nice step up from bbb. Still a bit rough and loose in places but it'll ride in nicely.

Had a wee run on the new built Ti, with the 2x10. About 20 miles round trip,give of take.
But the first run out was good, the white bros carbon was a lot less harsh than I was expecting. Certainly less harsh than a pace even though the paces legs are thinner.
And the 185mm rotor capacity is spot on. Ive been running a 185/160 since 1998 and i wasnt sure how id get on 165/160
Im missing the 48t though especially on the long flats. 39 outer is a bit wee, but im sure ill get more use to it.Legs are not what they used to be.
Brakes need readjusted, a bit one sides on the rear :? Might have to shim to IS bit of the adaptor over 1/2mm more. and a wee bit of slack cables on the gears.
The new gears are a surprise to me. The XO ive fitted on the 2x10 performs less 'crisply' than the 3x9 on x9 shifters. Not sure why yet but it clunks home rather than the previous gentle click.

Ripped this on Saturday with a bunch of Ex DH'ers and one Ex Scottish champ, fast / flowy but by god if you dont pin the top of the berms then the bottom is just full of sharp broken rock! Had a few sideways moments but good fun!!

Re:

Stripped the Scandal today, was my go to mountain bike , out the door, long distance xc stuff, commuter even but alas its fallen from favour and its time to move it on. Rob I entirely empathise with your woe, I'm not sure where the logic comes in when its time to sell a loved and riddne bike.
