Should help you loose a few more minutes around the dam Eye-wink

It sure did! I shaved 4 minutes off yesterday and 6 off today. So much easier round the corners and the control on the rough downhill sections is just amazing. I've really been missing out!

A decent bike makes a real difference but you'll also be improving your skills as you ride more too.

Wow 6 minutes faster is a huge improvement!

So glad, to see you enjoying the bike as much as I did.

Absolutely loving it Nigel thanks mate

I went around the dam again today and had to bail on one of the downhill technical sections. Then later on in the fast twisty corners along the wakehurst parkway I whacked my shoulder off one of the trees that lean over the inside of the corners. Didn't stop me but it really hurt!

Have gone tubeless in the rear too now. Got a Maxxis cross mark lust in Anaconda for $42. Noticed a snapped spoke on the rear wheel too so will replace that tomorrow.

Ice on the shoulder now though!
