Finally!
Actually found some time to go out on this thing!

The original gearing I bought for this was a no-go and I ended up chucking it in the bin.
Instead, I found a Trail Tech crankset made for an E-bike, had to swap out the bottom bracket, but the result is something which gives me the ability to go up a few teeth on the front (currently rocking 24t), blitzes up moderate inclines, but lacks real top end.

I managed my usual route easier than the 26er, both up and down hill. It just felt like it handled the rocky sections better than the 26er, the lower gearing made it easier to climb some of the hills I had to get off and push, overall I'm very pleased about how this one has turned out, hopefully get a lot of use out of this over the coming years.
