First ride this morning, and it quickly became clear that the seatpost is a) too low for me and b) plagued with the classic Reverb sag. I didn’t fancy wrecking my knees wrenching up the mountain so instead headed to the pump track down the road.
Last time I was here I bottled it - it was full of very small children doing very gnarly things and I didn’t have the nerve to give it a go. A very nervous 7-ish year old girl having similar reluctance came up to me and whispered “I’m scared…”. And when I whispered back “I’m scared too…” she seemed equally shocked and delighted that a Grown Up was scared too.
Anyway! It was empty this morning so I had all the time to bail and psyche myself up… and I did it! I don’t know why pump tracks scare the shit out of me but anyway the bike is totally awesome - rough as hell but feels what I think bigger boys call “chuckable”.
Home now and Plusgassing the life out of the seatpost - updates to follow.
