Re:
so, first impressions on my first ride on my first 29er......
okay, so i guess i should expect it to ride really nicely as i had previous experience of the training wheel-sized Tranny before buying this frame, and that's exactly what it does!
wouldn't know it had wagon wheels to be honest!
it covers ground more swiftly, and very low-speed-manoeuvrability is not quite what you get with a 26, other than that i think this is maybe even more agile than the baby Tranny was, and more comfortable. it's really flickable, steering is superb, and power transfer is instant! front end is a little light, maybe exaggerated by the slightly higher bar height i opted for rather than cutting the steerer short..... i'm not getting any younger nor my back more supple!
overall impression is very positive, in fact i didn't need to adjust anything, i just got on and rode it!
will play with tyre pressures more as still not dialled-in with the larger volume of the 29 inch tubeless tyres, i went for 25 front and 30 rear as a starting-point, but reckon i could go 22/26 even at my weight
the weather is beautiful here today, now it's had a shake-down i'll take it for a proper run tomorrow as i have the day off
