    Guid effort man. That is gnarly as. A proper tribute to Chainsaw. RE: arm pump I’ve been on revgrips on renthal 800mm carbon bars and mate, not a bit of arm pump. Like about 15 runs on a normal, not that brutal type of course though, DH and not a bit of it. Just a suggestion. Jack Moir said he didn’t get the feeling off the grips but I just got used to them pretty quickly.

    It went together easily in less than an hour. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.

      to give some perspective of how much the go-pro effect comes in here; that last pitch out of the sharkfin is so steep it is difficult to walk up. it drops away for much that when you're coming into the sharkfin it is a completely blind takeoff that looks like it airs into the valley below. and that isnt even close to the steepest section of this track haha
