Finally, after swapping the front tyre and properly attaching the dropper post cable, I went out for a first ride on the Nordest Sardinha II 🚲 on Sunday. This may be just the New Toy Syndrome™ talking but I’m pretty impressed with the handling and climbing ability so far.
@mangochutney I’m tempted with a new MTB bike. My current MTB has had a long 5 years with over 6000 miles on it. It’s survived a few crashes (and one snapped cracked chainstay) along the way and now sounds like a creaky train coming downhill as all the bearings and joints on the suspension are on their last legs!
@RossA 😈 DO IT! That sounds like a good reason to look at something new. I need to ride more trails with this thing but this first ride has definitely piqued my interest. "They" might be onto something with these modern geometry MTBs.
