24 May 2023 Ginnungagap- a gnarly double black trail at Romsåsen, Askim

Ginnungagap is a technical and steep trail with cliffs, steep sections, and fast sections, slow switchbacks, not suited for beginners.
In this video I take a look around. I took some pics you can see on Flickr.
You can see the trail ridden properly by Iver:

No voice over for the vids Mic cable plug failed so don't have a working mic at the moment.
But here is what I have to say:
This trail was scary, my front brake was leaking, contaminated pads, rotor, lacked power, soft feel. So that's why the front brake was noisy. So trying to ride it fully would be stupid anyway. I had to rebuild the Fomula Cura 4 front brake, New o-ring at bleed port at lever, and all seals and O ring on the caliper. Album from the rebuild: flic.kr/s/aHBqjB1v5x

I wanted to ask you are you riding a new bike or the same bike you use to ride?

[@mtbboy1993]

I built this bike in 2019, it remained my main bike.
It's a Geometron G1 size Large 515mm reach, , I changed some parts, upgraded from mechanical TRP Spyke to Formula Cura 4 with RG components levers( as seen in this vid), wheels wider rims, love the riding characteristics, stability of Michelin Wild enduro on 30mm rims. My recent upgrade was replacing the 185mm Bike yoke Divine( as seen in this vid) with 213mm Bike Yoke Revive 2.0, which has a super light actuation. I swapped the 175mm Race Face Atlas cranks for 165mm, which allows me to use the 213mm dropper post, which is max the L frame can run. It's few mm from max insertion.
When I built this bike I sold the frame and some parts on the 2014 Fuel ex I upgraded, it was junk, used the parts to build this bike, converted Hope wheels to boost, reused what I had on hand bought a headset, and second hand stem. the stem is still going strong.

On Flickr I have photos of it. I will post pics of the new dropper post once I've edited them.
