Finally have a hardtail back up and running again. I've gone from the 2015 Hornet to the new version that actually properly fit 27.5.

The things I liked were the 142mm rear and threaded bottom bracket. That means the fleet is back on par with wheels.

Went semi fat with the 2.6 up front and 2.5 rear. The forks will probably come down to 160mm when I pull them apart next unless I'm really happy with how is riding for now.

First real ride is looking at being at Harcourt on Wednesday, then some familiar trails to give it a try on after that.
