Very smooth, gearing feels harder than a 26 bike, 29ers are brilliant trail bikes! We'll find out how well it races on Sunday in Thetford…

Not sure on weight yet, probably 23lbs ballpark. Rode really nicely at Swinley this afternoon in the sunshine 🙂

Mine's 24.3 with pedals.

I have some lighter stuff and some heavier stuff so it should even out.

How're you finding the Supadrives? Does the engagement compare well to a CK?

Watch out for those biger tyres, the frame spacing is tight!

The hubs are great, I've ridden Kings for a few years before, and while I wouldn't expect these to last as long, the pickup is faster: kings are 72 point engagement and these are 120.
