Finally had the Fireeye and a half decent camera out at the same time today.
I hiked/pushed/carried (and pedalled a tiny tiny amount) up Ben Lomond in around 2 hours and it took me 1hour 3 minutes to ride back down!
Brakes should be bedded now!
Bit of snow on the way up, it also snowed, hailed, sleeted, rained but thankfully the sun shone quite a bit too,
At the top, views not up to much due to weather coming in,
And a few once I got back down,
Edit: I'm glad with all the carrying and pushing I had to do that I no longer have the Alfine on this, it's now back on the 1x1.
Also, you may have noticed the XT 4pot is missing off the front, it started weeping from the join in the caliper halves so it has been replaced* with a Gatorbrake 6pot which means the bike now has 10 brake pistons but only 1 gear.
*I will be/am looking into repairing the leak so the 6pot might not be permanent.
