The 550lb spring is much better suited to my current tonnage, much nicer balance and the bike is clearly riding higher in it’s travel as the pedal strike that dogged me in Cairns has gone.
Yesterday marked the first time I have ridden the enduro bike here, and it really reminds me why I love this bike - for whatever reason it’s just a much more helpful companion than the Jibb, which may simply be that it inspires more confidence but whatever it is sharp technical climbs that I’d bail out of halfway on the 135mm travel Jibb I stay with on the 160mm Madonna, and it’ll get up and over some amazing features if you throw it at them with enough commitment.
A did a couple of runs through Kent Ridge and I’m much happier wth it now - for a theoretical downhill course it features a lot of climbing, but I guess that’s Singapore for you.
