Scotty was generous enough to allow me to borrow the Prophet for a bit to see how I like it before I commit to buying it. Khail's brother, Casey, took nearly two hours answering questions and looking it over today for me. He really knows his stuff and really provided me with a ton of insight regarding modern mountain bikes. We got the suspension set up for a 220Lb guy since that's as high as the setup guide went to. Hopefully my extra 30Lb won't be a big deal. I'll play with the settings when I take it for a test ride.

I was hoping to take it up to Peavine on Saturday, but it might be too muddy according to the weather report.

To be honest, this bike is pretty darn fancy and the maintenance sounds a little daunting, but I'm sure I'll fall in love with it when I get it out on a gnarly trail. We'll see.
