It turned up! and its a lot of fun. Pedals surprisingly well too.

Nothing wrong with these 4 pot avids either! well compared to what I have been using.

Need to bring the front end down a touch, but its pretty close to perfect for me.

Rode it without tubeless converting it first which was a mistake. hate tubes. nasty things.

Not sure I can get along with SRAM shifting though......

Jealous! I'll be keeping my OG Tues for some time but if it breaks I have no doubts on what I'd get to replace it.

Nice bike, nice colour.

I'm surprised they don't offer a Zee-based model of the Tues, that'd be a cracker.

I'd have gone for a Shimano option if there was one... thinking I should have got the slightly better one but I didn't like the colours. So damper upgrade, and ZEE/saint (depending on offers etc)all round eventually.

Looking good buddy.

Almost agree with you on the Sram stuff. My X0 shifter and X9 mech had a lovely positive shift action but the Sram clutch system isn't as good as Shimano's. I've just swapped to a Zee mech and Saint shifter. It's much quieter but I don't like the shift action.

When's your next trip to Revo to go and hurt yourself?

Revo is a week today... I'll be having a pop at simmonds time now I'm not riding the scrawny steel crack-ferret ๐Ÿ˜‰

Sam, this poxy X9 hasn't even got a clutch.

We'll my X9 clutch was next to useless...it sounded almost as bad as my previous none clutch version.

The Zee mech does seem to quieten things down a bit. At half the price it doesn't feel so bad when you clout a rock either.

Bike still looks good though. When do you get the new damper?

When loco tells me they're available... On back order for over a month. Going for the charger damper like the one in the new pikes but without lockout. R2c2 is too much to play with and it's not available for 2015.
