Anyone with a Fairlight Strael? How does it stack up?

That said, the biggest surprise was honestly how well it descended. It was so incredibly well composed on twisty downhills. The only thing really holding me back there was the fact that it really needs a new set of brakepads and I got a bit sketched out. Will be nice to take it out again with new pads tomorrow since those just showed up in the mail!
