FM166 Do-Over Parts Are All In, WMD on Long Travel

The final parts, a pair of Shimano 160mm rotors, came in for the FM166. This was after the FSA bar deal on Chain Reaction I could not pass up - this messes up the black/red color scheme, but the quality should be a step up from more random Chinese parts. Maybe.

The bike got very light again after taking off the Ultegra, TRP-Hylex hydraulic shifters and rotors.

I took the Scott 29er with its new-old 120mm fork onto the usual WMD. The extra travel was great downhill, but a bit of a handful uphill - I found myself bailing out a little earlier than I needed to over features I WAS clearing on my old fork (before it completely shriveled).
