Good review, Barney. I bet that a longer dropper would have gotten you more “in” the bike, but it does seem like a narrow dropper/insertion window. At 6’3″ I feel “stood up” by 170mm droppers.

Worth noting that Occams don’t have ISCG tabs, just an integrated chain guide that attaches to the pivot IIRC. So you can’t use a bash guard.

Rear Tyre // Maxxis Dissector 2.4 TLR

Hi, I treated myself to a new Occam M10 LT just before Xmas and I love it. What’s your thoughts on the Minion DHF front tyre though? First ride out was dry conditions and I couldn’t believe how well the bike cornered. My last two rides in wet conditions however are a different story. I liken the experience to trying to ride a weasel that had smeared itself in Vaseline. The front wheel washed out as soon as I even thought about turning a corner. Another £65 shelled out and Magic Mary is in the post.
