What did you do with your Grenadier today?

What do you think of the side mollie panel, I've had that on mu basket so many times
I’m happy with mine - have all the first aid kit (with tear-off panels) and a machete on one, and lashings / cooking fuel on the other, with room to spare. A nice feature of the Bison version is the whole in the middle enabling storage of soft goods behind the panel - a scarf, beanie, and light jacket in my case on one side.

Drove up to Berthoud pass in Colorado. Then skinned up to the continental divide at about 12,500 feet with my daughter. It was her first time on A/T gear. Fun times.

OK, today I installed the new FOX sterring stabalizer tha has been sitting on the floor, in the box, in my office for 6 months. WOWZA! What a total difference!

If you dont have one, run, don’t walk to your nearest FOX dealer and purchase it. Greatest mod yet.
 
Removed the King shocks in favor of AO Fox DSC . Absolutely nothing wrong with the Kings and I’ve been very pleased with them especially after a good workout in Anza/Ocotillo. I’m selling the Kings, and very hopeful that the Fox will give me an even better control over the terrain. Verdict is still out, but I also wanted to do this to provide the community real world comparison.

On holiday with wife and son in France - the Grenadier brought us all here without drama.

The nearest to off-road in the last few days has been parking on a muddy road verge to visit a Christmas market at a local Chateau.

Disneyland Paris tomorrow, so the tarmaced vistas of Disney parking will be as near as I get to the Serengeti Plain.

(I rather like that my flag has changed to the French Tricolour - still it will change back soon).

Hi,

I'm very interested in your test. I'm considering whether to install King or Fox 2.5, but given the dual compression adjustment, I'm leaning toward Fox.

Did Fox also provide the support plates for the front shock absorber reservoir?

But I'm wondering why rebound isn't controlled in either case. It seems strange to me, given that it's now standard practice for mountain bikes and motorcycles to have preload, high- and low-spec compression, and rebound. Especially considering we're talking about high-end aftermarket shock absorbers, not cheap components.

I hope you enjoy it. Disneyland California was possibly the worst experience of my life!
Versailles was also pretty awful, but the garden was OK.

Has the flag on your Grenadier turned white to match 🤔 🤣
 
Because the Germans stole the interior furniture and fittings and won't give it back.
All the furniture seemed to have been replaced by busloads of noisily chirping tourists! Every bloody room!
Exceopt the cafe.
