Cheers man. Only commuted on it so far and most off-road I’ve managed is the jogging trail in viccy Park and riding the odd bit of dirt next to the canal path but absolutely loving it.
Main thing at the moment is that it doesn’t really feel “softer” than my Equilibrium. That had 25mm tyres on wide non carbon rims and carbon seatpost, and obviously was steel and carbon forks rather than alu frame like the Arkose but I expected it to be much softer with 35mm tyres. My Equilibrium was really comfy, the Arkose is comfier having much less saddle to bar drop, but not softer. I think I’ll have to go up to 40+ tyres with lower psi to get that real softness I was expecting.
