My garden is a disgrace.

Good job I've got a new bike so I can go out instead of tidying it up.😉

Stock apart from 2.6 tyres instead of 2.8, a KS dropper and swapped all the Sram stuff to XT and Saint.

Off out in a bit to see if anyone calls me a cheat.😋

I've not even gone out yet.

I can tell you where I'm going though if you want to drop over?

Given your user name that's not your bike!

Some big assumptions about what I do at one speed there.😲

Amazing bit of kit!  I’m an SRAM rather than Shimano man but the 2.6’s feel like the right move...

I am trying to decide between this and a G170 at the moment, but I keep changing my mind on a daily basis!!

Having been pathologically opposed to the green I’m also finding it is growing on me a bit...

Is there much if any difference in the outer diameter between the 2.8 and 2.6 tyres?

And is that a Levo with a coil or a Kenevo?

I can measure up for you later Gotama.

But gut feeling is there's only a knats cock in it height wise.

It's a Kenevo.

All 180mm of it.😎

Right off for a quick shake down to see if anything falls off it.

Very jealous. Tragically (and I do mean tragically) the only thing putting me off is the yearly miles I'll lose on my Strava/Veloviewer account, as I'll end up riding it everywhere.

Silly and fun?......that's just not cycling in any form whatsoever is it?, where is the suffering?, where is the earned effort?, how can you live with yourself for riding such an abomination?.....please think of the children.

Has everyone seen this video raving about maxxed out Levos and Kenevos?

I like the idea!

Cheat, but I still want one.

It's like loving my girlfriend, I still want Keira Knightley, but I'd feel bad if I wasn't putting the effort in on what I already have.

I'm a bit worried about trail erosion now TBH.

I only rode up this trail that I normally descend once and look at the size of the rut it caused.😜
