Going for a play in the woods to distribute the tyre sealant properly, slightly concerned about the amount of spacers behind the front rotor to convert the hub from 135mm rear disc spacing to 150mm front disc spacing 🤔

I’m normally off road On a gravel bike. So my MTB just feels massively solid and confidence inspiring. I’m sure it will be the same for you

Survived intact. Compared to the last few months of gravel bike riding MTB is slower, louder and shorter.
But came home with just as big a grin on my face.
Conclusion: bikes are just ace
