yeh i was thinking of going for modifications inc forks rather than buying new, and maybe going full sus if i buy new, have the best of both worlds then.

I just noticed that too!! 8)

kopite1979, turn your quick release levers the other way!!! They should face rearwards, so as you ride along your trails, the can't get snagged by debris, branches etc so easily!

But nice bike matey, and welcome! Hope you enjoy it as much as well all do!

it was a test... congrats you passed! 8) :oops:
