First impressions were outstanding.  Couldn't be happier.  After a quick blast around the trail a few tweeks were needed.

Front wheel had an annoying squeak.  Removed wheel and greased up bearings, end caps and axle.  No more squeak !

I had to adjust the position of the onboard nut on the front axle so the QR closed in the correct upright position.  Simple job that was well explained on the Fox website.

This frame is smaller than my last so I have set the seat further back to get into a familiar riding position. Just about there but I imagine I will tinker with that for a while. I have also lowered the angle of the seat as it was a touch to high.

A few minor adjustments were needed to the RD as the chain dropped of the big ring.  Without a FD the setting up is very simple.  Now shifts very crisply. Happy with the responsiveness of the Grip shift too.

Front and rear suspension shifts between modes nicely.  Not a complete lockout in climb mode but I have got the settings very high so it is very firm.  There will be an extra 10kgs on my back for the next 10 days ! (Bikepacking across the Hebrides) 

Nice to see you already have a lot of fun with your chiner!

Nice build. Like the white fork with the other white accents. Thumbs up!

Have fun on your bikepacking and ride safely.

Sussed, you might want to check out the Scott Twin-Loc lever for your suspension, I really liked this lever over the standard fox lever and cable splitter.

Nice build Sussed!!!!  Can I aske how much it weighs?  Thanks!

A friend at the LBS is hopefully digging out a spare Twin lock !
