I tend to use the granny ring on the climbs just because its there for me to use and is easier But I guess if it wasn't there I wouldn't really notice a massive difference
Very nice in black with a touch of White on the wheels, great combo.. You have a stunner there, How much was this specced Strive if you don't mind me asking?
Dude it was £2500 for me I got it when they where having a sale. Its great for me coming from the ironhorse its head angle is 66.5 I think Which is only a degree and half off the sunday. I feel very comfit able on it. I do run a little bit more air in it just because I have a tendency to really bottom it out but is at around 28% Sag which is fine.
I Ride fairly hard for the size of the bike I don't feel like I have over stepped its mark so far so it is very capable. I only really ride in my local area which is the forest of dean. If you youtube it should give a you good idea what the tracks are like.
I'm looking for it to weigh about 13.5kg hopefully under though..
