NBD Giant Revolt 2

Finally got my new Giant Revolt 2 on Thursday.

I've been on a 10+ year old Specialized Rockhopper til now.

On my first ride out, I felt very unstable, but thought it was just a case of adjusting to a different bike and drop handlebars, but I noticed I was possible over-extending my legs, a little 10mm lowering of the saddle made a big difference.

I'm loving the responsiveness of the bike and definitely not missing the front suspension on hills, though I do miss it on some of the Irish roads, they aren't the smoothest.

I think we are going to be very good friends indeed
