Found it really hard on the dual so many ruts as you get to 2nd and 3rd berm kept losing the chain on cassette due to bouncing around so found it frustrating as couldn't adjust pedals
4x was no probs ,and im only riding since end of september so the two downhill runs roots were scary for me a bit!
if i go again i will do the two drops tho!
im riding rockhopper!

Dual was dry with a fair few braking bumps, 4x was smoother when there with luvinit few weeks ago.

You got a cut down seatpost, luvinit?

Are you still running 2-3 rings on the front ?

time to bin them off get a guide and shorten the chain and you'll be right as rain
