Additional Info
Inured my thumb so thought I'd chuck up an updated bike check. Made some changes inc derby carbon rims laced to hadley hubs - these things roll forever, far exceeded my expectations! Running 23 PSI front and 25PSI rear -1PSI front and rear in the wet. Won't bother listing suspension set up as the air piston, compression piston, rebound piston and shim stacks are all very far from stock. I'm running two descending valves in my Elevensix rear shock, one slightly stiffer than the other, no need for a climb valve as the Instinct pedals so well without one.
