Thanks to @mk one for sorting me out with some more chunky tyres too

Great stuff.

These are more agile than they look once you get pedaling. In my experience, it's best at home on a "hard" blue bike park trail.

For an improved riding experience, I highly recommend having the fork serviced by Silverfish and swap out the forks for something that works.

Im still yet to give it a good off-road ride....
It was the plan this weekend but decorating my daughter's room had to be 1st in line.
Once I get a feeling for the bike I might have a look into the suspension if needed.
But this bike was solely bought for a commuting purpose... however there are plenty of trails on my doorstep so I can see this bike being used far more than I originally planned.
Thanks for your advice Al.
