Finally found the time to take out my newly built up Scott Genius MC30 on my local trail.

Couple of things I've noticed:

How much fitness I've lost with not being able to go out biking for 3 weeks :shock:
I need to index my gears again :oops:
How much faster I'm able to go on the Scott than my GT Avalanche 1.0.
The Scott TC rear shock really works, great to be able to reduce travel and lock out from the remote.
Rock Shox Revs are in a whole different league than SR XCR's :lol:

Anywy a couple of pics.

  • Why is your bike in the two smallest cogs? Maybe they dont need indexing maybe you just need to work out how to use them?

    I am joking but they shouldnt ever be in that combo.
    Closet jockey wheel pimp whore.

    Why, will the cog police come along and give you a ticket?
