I put on a maxxis 2.3 crossmark and a 2.4 x king, serviced the fork and put the travel up to 100mm,
then took it out for its first proper offroad ride.
It is loads of fun, good everywhere, mannuals and hops better than any bike I have ridden, just like a bike bmx yet rides well even on road sections so i'm quite pleased.
I may put some wider rims on to make the tyres less squirmy but it now to bad, but a 10 speed block will quickly be put on as i wasn't enjoying the 36x16 gearing on 20%+ climbs!

off the bike with a cold so took some photos of the explosif in the field behind my house.
Can't get over how much I'm loving it, shame I couldn't get out this weekend

popped on a zee rear mech, slx shifter and a 11-28 cassette on until the mud comes.
Only thing now is I want some wider rims as its a bit squirmy with the large tyres on, so if any wants a pair of lightweight hope pro 3/ stans wheels you know where to come
