They were actually pretty close to perfect. The front actually gave me
the most problem, but it usually does. I can't do grip shifters. It's
just too awkward. The SRAM's will take a little getting used to
compared to XTR. I keep forgetting it's only the thumb.
I took it out on the little piece of trail I built (.25 miles) across
the street from my house this morning. What a tremendous difference in
the ride compared to my other bikes. People are not kidding when they
say how tight the ride is. I was thinking it was all hype, but I have
to say it is extremely responsive. The SPV in the Manitou works.
Another thing I thought was just hype. It stayed nice and firm until I
took a good hit and it went into action. Now I just have to put it to
use on a real hill/mountain. Unfortunately we are riding Pennypack on
Sunday which is not a good test.
