Transition patrol 3 months later.

Man, this bike has already been through a lot!

Got my hands on a brand new Transition Patrol last march and so far is been a weird experience.

First time owning something from Transition myself. Only had experience how they ride and feel with a size L Spire I once borrowed.
Im in love with the brand and how good of a bike it is!

Favorite thing is how well it climbs and the big upgrades on specs I got from my previous bike.
There are so many good things i enjoy about this bike besides being the best looking bike I have ever owned but…

I feel like im losing control of the bike more than what I used to with my previous bike.
Im sure a lot of it is me taking more and more risks and doing features that i previously haven’t attempted.
But im struggling a bit to add adapt to the new geometry

I was coming from another park style bike (Specialized Status 160) also mullet.
And somehow it feels like this bike is just way smaller. On the chart, I am definitely an L size on both brands.

How do you ride? Flip chip up or down.
I don’t really understand what it is for and what really changes. It seems like a minimal adjustment.

Anyone else who could tell me about their experience with changing bikes for a patrol and how was the geometry adapting curve.

Thanks!
