    NS reccommend that you use forks between 120 and 160mm for that frame, i think 100mm forks will really mess the geometry up and make the steering really twitchy, also 100mm is a bit short for trail riding etc. You should get some marzocci 55's or rockshox pikes or lyriks or something. I think pike U-turns would really suit what you are looking for. nice bike though.

    Why not get a more out and out XC bike if that what you are using it for?

    that's why i say pikes, same price as fox forks, perform just as well and have u-turn. 100mm fox forks aren't going to be taking big hits.

    I'd just leave the DJ 3s on and the rims, until they die 4X - they are fine for what you want them for mate.... ;)

    If it was up to me you'd get a tangerine and a clip round the ear. And like it. :evil:
