Thanks Andrew for the reply!
Set up my bike and I found I'm running way more than Marin's recommended pressure \\(126 PSI in the rear at 200lbs. _I'm closer to 155 PSI, is this consistent with what you were finding? _Front PSI I'm running at about 120.
The geometry \\(large\\) is also really interesting, and I need to spend some time further fine tuning as currently at 6ft, I have my bars stacked and the saddle height is still at least 2.5" above, if not slightly more. I feel like I must have something wrong here... I can't be an XL.
Good tip on the fork service! I need to find some oil and slickoleum ASAP. I wish the seals could be accessed without dumping all the oil out of the lowers, but it will be a learning opportunity.
Also great tip on the rotors - I immediately swapped out to a Shimano RT66 and the braking is considerably better than the rear. That will be next!
