Finally succumbed to a non-26er and bought a Niner MCR and fork off here. Transferred most of the bits from my old XC bike over onto it, but picked up a cheap wheelset (Crossrides) and a set of Easton Haven carbon bars for it.

Rides well, but feels bloody weird currently, but not sure what part of the bike it is. Could be the bigger tyres, or it could be the steel frame, or just the geo. Or my fat arse that hasnt been riding all winter…. or all of the above. Will ride more.
