What did you do to your crosscheck today?

I broke the cardinal rule about doing bike maintenance before a ride and swapped my rear brake pads on the Instinct. First, the system was overfull from when I flushed it last, so I used the funnel to burp some extra fluid out. Then some air got in the system, so I had to do a lever bleed. Luckily, I had it fixed up before it was time to ride.

This was my second ride on the second warranty frame. I don’t know if it’s the updated suspension tune I did back in February or the straight shock eyelets, but the bike feels completely different. Before, it was like I was always fighting it. Now, it feels like the bike I initially demoed.
