Let's re-cap!

 

My first Morewood was a Mbuzi. LOVED that bike with a one in a million fork on it. Sold after I broke my wrist and was going to be off the bike for 6-12 months.

My second Morewood (followed close on the heels of the Mbuzi) was a Shova. Sold and kept only the Mbuzi

My third, and last (for now), Morewood was also a Shova. Bought this post-wrist op while I was waiting for my Mojo HD to arrive.

I had it on the little chainring (28t) - cos i was not sure how to attack the lagoon bridge - my gut said i needed to spin it. As soon as i got on I relaised spinning was not the answer and quickly decided to shift down on the cluster and not shift up to the 48t...so what you see there is a 28-11 combination...hence the sag!

 

edit: that said..... the drivetrain is also sitting on about 3500km!

oh thats another story completely. Collapsed ring... went in for a service before Sani and all was lekker then suddenly on day 2 everything just went flat. Climbing it felt like i had no oil in my fork and the stantions were sticking (felt like something was loose). Fortunately there was no big dropoffs else i would have bottomed out...anywhere they apologised and reserviced it for free

 

edit: net result was a very painfull neck area for about a week after..which i have just realised was directly attributed to that
