The Rockhopper is now rideable and it rides very nicely, just how I hoped it would. Indexing sorted, brake hose trimming sorted, dropper cable sorted, and a decent seat clamp found. Just the shortening of the steel stem left for the weekend and then I'll take some proper photos.
I never really post about the Solaris as it's build hasn't changed much over the five years I've had it, but every time I ride it I'm reminded of what a fantastic bike it is. Had a beautiful pre-work ride in the hills, high above a cloud inversion, earlier this week. New brakes are on the horizon for it though as I'm getting fed up with the wandering bite point on the SLXs and I'm overwhelming the 2 pot caliper on the front fairly often. Perhaps some XT 4 pots, Magura MT7s, or G2/Code RSCs.
