Do you know what though, the bigger the wait, the bigger the challenge in ordering it, the bigger your smile when you get yours!

Wife's is just as comfy as mine with the added bonus of the pvc cover is already peeling off.... Quality is not a word that springs to mind

Might get a bit of summer lol
Have to say as the owner of several dropper posts, from the cheap as chips Brand X to the full Kashima bling Fox factory, I can tell bugger all difference between them in terms of the posts themselves, fitting a decent remote however is a game changer, and IMO at least makes more of a difference than the post itself - my brand x with a Wolftooth remote was much better than my Fox Factory with the stock fox remote, and the fox factory was much better when I fitted a decent remote to it.
I only bought the Fox Factory dropper to match my forks, after all the trails are nothing more than a glorified catwalk

Ok been a busy day at work so only had chance to open the box and see what’s inside. Seemed to be a bit of a mess as though everything had been thrown in. 
So I have pedals, charger(UK lol), keys, reflectors for wheels, three Allen keys, front light.
So I think i am missing a pedal spanner and rear light? Think a trip to the Store is needed tomorrow (only 5 mins away).

That's the strap for rear light, I wouldn't bother trying to get one, the lights quality is shocking, you could probably get 5 for a pound at local pound shop(not kidding).
What's that?
Edit: Taxidriver50005 you are way too fast, replied even before I posted my question... hahaha!

Could it be to hold the brake pads in place when a wheel is removed? Can’t really tell it’s dimensions so it’s just a guess.

You might also want to get a shock pump if you dont have one already?
With that in mind does anyone have a recommendation for one?

I don’t have anything as this is a new sport for me. Store is only 5 mins away so going to act really dumb (not difficult for me) and see what they say. Going to buy things bit by bit as and when I need them.
You will need a shock pump striaght away, as you need it to set up the suspension correctly.
decathlon do a perfectly decent one - the critical thing to remember is to use the same pump when you adjust your settings as you will get slight variations in reading between different pumps.

Suspension set-up guides and info
@Rob Hancill There are a lot of threads on the forum asking questions about suspension set-up. I think it would be good to sticky a guide to suspension set-up for all users to easily find. @steve_sordy just posted an excellent and fairly thorough PDF guide to suspension set up in the commencal...

Don’t just hate it when that happens! ?
Hopefully they told you which company they are using so you can track it. Mine is shown as shipped, with a tracking number, but no indication as to who’s delivering it. ??
The carrier is Panther according to the shipping email.Don’t just hate it when that happens! ?

For those who don't already know (it might just be me) try Rock shox trailhead app for front suspension tuning.... As a starting point.
