Cue weeks of shocking weather...only had a couple of proper rides on it so far but I love it! The 1 x 10 set up feels great to me, the chainline looked way out at first so I put some 3.5mm spacers between the chainring and spider which fixed it nicely.
Theres a bit of cable rub on the swingarm just under the shock mount where the frame's managed to defy my attempts at heli-taping so i'm gonna try some sugru to fix it.
Time to sign up for some enduro races :)
Just debating whether to add a dropper post...
