Riding location highlights are 3 days in Squamish and 1 in Pemberton BC. I'm also keen to ride some cool trails near family I'll be visiting further inland in BC and near where I grew up...
The frame was second hand from @Litenbror as he wanted to go down a size. I had recently replaced my Bird AM9 frame with an Aeris 9 because I needed more travel and length to compensate. This had left me with a hole in my MTB aviary between my underused hardtail and my big enduro bike. I just...

I was happy with one bird in my life. She was raw and a lot of fun; even after getting dirty together for a few years. Then I saw another bird and and for the first time in a while I felt that feeling. I wasn't sure if I could get this new bird to fly from the UK to me but I did what I had to do...

So I've been getting my bike ready for a trip and when I changed the chain I found that it's running rough on the chainring when under load. The bike was built with new drive train in June with ~30-50km per week with 800-1800m of climbing. The chainring shouldn't be worn.
