I have a choice !

My own, which is a Bird Zero TR, 1×11 XT/SLX , dropper, 130mm Yari, Minion 2.3/ Ardent 2.4,

Or my son’s, which an almost brand new (he got it a few months ago but isn’t riding now..15 yrs old….footie, girls….) Cube Ltd Race, 2×11 XT group, fixed post, 100mm Recon, Tough Tom 2.25/ Rapid Rob 2.25…..

My thinking is that the Cube, which is much more traditional geometry and a bit lighter will probably lend itself better to this purpose, whilst also fulfilling an N+1…. I will also probably use it when coaching, which I do sat morns, otherwise it will sat unused and I don’t fancy dropping a chunk selling it when it’s only 4 rides old..

Thoughts ?

I’d agree.

Agree

Good, glad it fits me perfectly, obviously some method in my madness buying it for him 😀

….just need to convert it over to tubeless and ready to go !

Sunday morning tubeless project comenceth 😀

Agree, ride his bike to get some use out of it. Maybe he’ll get jealous and want it back

^^^^^ indeed 😀 Found the OEM tyres to be wired when I took them off so am popping a Racing Ralph on the back and have ordered a Rocket Ron for the front. Wheels currently inside warming up before Stans taping this evening or tomorrow evening.
