Had my maiden voyage on my new Pitch last night. I'd spent quite a bit of time the previous night tuning, fettling and sticking on frame protector, and I think I made myself feel strangely apprehensive about taking her out. Once out, I had a few issues, mostly surrounding riding position and seat post height. The bike swallows jumps brilliantly and is definitely easier to ride uphill than the demo bike I loaned. However, it didn't quite feel 100% right, I wasn't throwing the bike around and getting over, up and through stuff the way I would on the hardtail and yet I finished up absolutely knackered!!
I suppose it's a bit of an ask to go from a hardtail to a full suss bike and expect to be riding like the Athertons!! What I do know is, I WILL get used to the bike and when it does gel it'll be brilliant!!
