Second ride on Blue Tier / Big Chook on Sunday just gone... Pretty sloppy toward the end of Big Chook, but otherwise a great 25km or so, and can't wait for the third time!
Love the flowing descent section about 2/3 way through Blue Tier.
Put another 30psi in the shock (up to 230psi) on recommendation from the guys at Pole. It made the bike feel much more agile and playful.
Still considering / toying with the idea of either 27.5+ (@2.8"), or 29 (@2.6")... As I get quite a number of pedal strikes on more pedally trails/sections where ratcheting reduces momentum too much, but it's such an expense.
New fork, wheels, boost crank, tyres... Ugh.
