so the last 2 weekends i have ridden the KilaHonzo, i'd made some changes, i fitted the magura dropper post, obvs it's wireless so nice and neat, decided also to try an ergon saddle, the main rides i do on this bike are in the New Forest, not particularly techy trails so i find myself sat alot, there aren't many sections where you get out of the saddle so i find myself getting a bit numb after a while, years ago i could ride 4 hours on those carbon flight saddles, more recently i have found SDG saddles to be generally good but on the rides where you sit 95% of the time i find i need more padding, i tried 2 different SQ-Lab saddles, they definitely helped but still getting a numb bum so i have fitted the Ergon saddle and i have to say there was an instant noticeable benefit so we'll see how that goes. the other thing i changed was the bar and stem, the burgtec stem was too short and i wanted the bike to be a bit higher at the front so i fitted a 50mm USE ultimate stem and matching USE ultimate carbon bar, have to say it feels nice.
there is a wheel change coming soon, only because i'm getting a promotional set of wheels for me to show off at the shop, but i think they'll be pretty cool when fitted, also i wanted a change from Hope, no negative reason againset Hope it's just literally all my bikes have Hope wheels so i fancied a change.
the new stem set up, and yes that's a Granite tool down the steerer.
next is the bar set up, very neat with only brake hoses
the Magura dropper lever, feels more traditional than theit original one that i have on my P7 but works great
