Still getting used to the revs, the dual air takes a bit of setting up, and cant tell if the the bars are too narrow for me, strange feeling steering.

Also need to bleed brakes, but already done the ones on my pace today, one set is enough.

Oh and buy some new tyres, they were the only ones i had suitable, great in winter mud, but not so good in summer. Some Ignitors are calling methinks.

Euch, the bike equivalent of a ginger person. Probably a good ride too. (and the ginger person analogy still applies)

Both are pretty loose, but elixir is especially bad. After doing my J7's today i realise how good brakes should be, and this one pulls all the way to the bar to lock it. Just need to checck on the bleeding technique for elixirs.....

And your colour choices are good, think its my addition of bright red tyres that kills it.

The Shimano as I said is brand new so I'm really surprised about that, and the pads won't even be bedded etc. so that's not great.
As for the elixir, I bled it before sending and it was feeling good, locking up fully about half way to bar from natural position, don't know if it's from the way it was transported or what then.
Everyone loves ginger's really ๐Ÿ˜‰
