Have you thought about buying another bike? The geometry looks all kinds of insane with that fork - assume it’s a lot longer?

If the riding isn’t that wild, ditch the dropper, or get a bar mounted lever that hinges or one with a seat lever?

Aye, yeah, it’s 130 vs the 100 mm that this rigid fork is sus corrected to. In reality though the stack works out to be around 45mm more, because the sus fork has a longer offset I think.
I might put the sus fork back on but tbh it felt totally overkill on my local trails and for the Dales Divide, I wanted space to carry extra water, hence the rigid fork.

This is the second bike already, no space for more - I think I might play with tire pressures a bit before I start thinking about front suspension

Even if the stack is only 45 mm more you seatpost angle is super laid back which will be weird to ride unless you move your saddle waaay forward.
