Had the Tarn suspension fettled and set up by the local sus experts, Flotec. They also popped the Reverb on for me as well.
Kept the forks at 120mm but some snazzy stuff happened with tokens and such like. I also got a great lesson on how the forks actully work, which has really peaked my interest in the weird and wonderful world of such things.
Stuck Bontrager grips and a Montrose Elite saddle on as well.
I also did some ghetto tubeless work, mostly involving DT Swiss rim tape and electrical tape, which appears to have held up well, but I’m going to redo it as I managed to put the rear tyre on backwards..... 😂
Dispite that mess, I had my first proper crack at Dunkeld yesterday and it was awesome. Terrifying but awesome.
The Tarn really is amazingly capable, unlike me.
Next up for it - tyres that clear faster and have a deeper block, as it’s just slop everywhere up here atm. May also start the hunt for some boost 29er Wheels to try them on it
Here is a photo of me looking terrified, for your lols
