A shake down ride to make sure everything is in order. Needs a little more air in the forks, and I need to add lights to my list, otherwise all good.
Test ride before my vacation

I should have said Imperial but I don’t think there is an empire any more. Probably there’s another name?

Now I have been researching feet and inches (and barleycorns and miles and furlongs). And I also discover that America uses the US Customary System because of course they have never been part of an empire. I learn something everyday.

That’s why I’m taking it. Took a hardtail last year and it was … hard.

Carbon but fully. Best of both worlds. And the last 26 in wheels in Europe
