Adding squish to the Colonel

I put a Maverick SC32 on the Dean.
3.5" of travel in "29er" mode.
New wheel too, 24/7 Maverick thru axle hub laced to a WTB Laser Disc rim.

I have about 6 rides on it, and big news, I don't have to be overly selective on my line choice on the rock and root laden Ft Rock trails.

Only a couple of longish climbs, OK one, that requires the lock out feature, which is mighty handy, as it drops the front end about 1.5-2", great for standing single speed climbing. I tested it at Bear Brook and it worked great.

Action shots soon........
