See you Thurs, 5.30 main FoD car park
Can't do Thursday evening but I'm at 417 tomorrow. Hope Airdrop put it together ok....
I wish I was local to FoD, I really enjoyed my brief look around there. Could do with a local guide next time.

12 months from now i'll be living a 2 minute walk from FoD 😀
The bike is brilliant, gold star to anyone who suggested it. Had an excellent day in blistering sunshine and the bike is now coated in dust.
Only issues were
1. the rear brake, SRAM Maven, is horribly inconsistent. May work fine, may pull to the bar and need a pump. Hopefully just needs a 'piston massage' or maybe a bleed. At least it wasn't the front
2. I managed to pinch the rear tyre right on the bead. Not sure a sticky worm is going to sort that. Bollocks.
3. Went to pump up the deflating tyre to get to the shop for a tube and snapped the top off the fancy Reserve valve body. Double bollocks.
4. Found a non crash related crack right through the chin bar of my Proframe. Don't know how I did that.
Also I should really have spent more time on set up of controls and suspension before going but whatever, I can do more tweaking at the weekend.

Less by bike 😀 I'm jealous. So much good riding and if you ever think you're tired of it Wales is just over there
We've done the piston massage 3-4 times now, I generally do it with a new set of pads.
Every 2-4 months I have to connect a syringe on the bleeding edge, take 1 bubble out, pressure it up again and it's golden.
We've never had any issues on the trails. Just the in garage quirks of the Mavens.

I have a spare if you want it? Recently warrantied a rim and reserve sent a full pack, can pop it in an envelope and post it tomorrow.

It’s a tough gig, but we struggle on with it.
@relapsed_mandalorian that would be great thanks, I would much rather buy one than a pair. I will attempt a message
Nope, message fail. @relapsed_mandalorian maybe you could email me how much and where to pay. Email is adrian(at)monkeybutt.co.uk
I've sent you a DM mate. No charge, just drop me an address.
I think you have some well locked down security because I can’t even reply to your message. Are you a spy or something? 😀
