Deviate Highlander.... Should I

Same, picked up norovirus and have spent a week recovering. Sunday hopefully 

If it's a MK1 150 frame I think the fork should be longer, 160 at least. I run mine at 170.

It's a 140 frame. Forks are currently at 150 but being manitous it's easy to change that. Going to ride as they are for the minute as they are setup sweetly but might change to 160 for a trial when I next drop the lowers.

It was a short baptism, biblical rain here. But for the short 12 miles, initial impressions are very favourable. Tracks brilliantly and all I’ve done on the ohlins for now is put it in the middle settings for both. Very pleased
