Finally in this morning I had a change to test my project bike. It worked pretty well on trails, but I have to add some air in the rear shock to make it a bit firmer. I also explored a new local trail, which is always nice.
Yeah, you can really feel the 17 kg weight and the thick tires when riding. But still I managed to climb one very steep technical uphill for the first time in my life. I have tried it several times earlier, but I haven't had the power and the luck until now.
By the way I installed a remote option to this Manitou Mastodon Pro Gen 3 fork. There was a lot of work, because there is not remote kit available for this. I for example used pillar drill as a lathe. I will publish later a how to -video of that on my Active Life in Finland by Lare Youtube channel.
