I hear you on the chainring and tire.
The geometry is a definite adjustment. I can generally hop on most bikes and feel okay within a few corners. This took a bit longer. Even just figuring out where your rear wheel is going to go. I would imagine if you came off another ultra long/slack bike, it probably wouldn't be the case, but it's different than many bikes out there and it requires adjustment.
On set-up. Well, I'm realizing that some of what I experienced might be fork break-in, but it has taken a bit of fiddling with the fork. Talking with Norco, they have lots of thoughts on how fork set-up effects the ride. How about this - as I get closer to my "ideal" fork tune, I'm feeling more and more comfortable?
