'elo mate,

I'm well annoyed, they were delivered first thing this morning but I was up the hospital and missed the driver so got the dreaded 'you were out' card! I have arranged to collect them tomorrow late morning, otherwise they'd be sat in the warehouse all weekend!!!

Lots of piccies tomorrow

forking nice :roll:

I am thinking about forking out ( :roll: ) for a set of these for the 456. Still trying to decide between these, revs or pikes. You get them from on-one?

Just the wheels now isn't it?

You eaten a clown for breakfast today CWNT? lol

Yeah got them from on-one, first class service, paid after 3pm and they were sent the same day via next day courier.

Wheels, saddle & rear Q/R left, I'll get all 3 at the same time though (had a slight change of direction with my saddle & Q/R, so those have been sold)

I can highly recommend these from what I've seen so far and the reviews seem very favourable, heres the link for the Singletrack review in this months mag: http://www.magura.com/en/products/suspension-forks-2010/prod/thor-4/info/press.html

Yeh, I've read nothing but positive things about them. For me at the moment I'm just deciding if I want springs or air.
Best of luck with the rest of the build dude

I asked our lbs at the back end of last year what forks they see most regularly coming back to the shop for repair work / advice / sent back to the manufacturer. And top of the list were Magura, the owner himself had to return his forks 3 times before giving up and buying a pike. I know it was enough to put me off them. I guess YMMV with any of them.

Your not a morale officer by any chance are you BP?

Fuuny though as alot of comments I've seen from the mags etc is that the Magura forks enjoy a very high reliability record, so I'm hoping that it'll all be alright on the night :shock:

blister pus

lol. I think if you took the averages of all returns and whatnot from all the main fork manufacturers I bet there'd be not much in it. ....apart from recent 'zocchis by all accounts. I do like the look of those Magura though.

Wheels, saddle & rear Q/R, sold my saddle and Q/R as I've had a slight change of mind on the colour/style. I will be buying all 3 together as soon as funds allow
