OK, not as flash as some of the bling I see on here, but it's my new full suss for xc/trail riding.
Looking forward to getting back off road :D

    Nice but I think they look better in black :wink:

    Make sure you give it a good hammering they go like a rocket

    nice, i very nearly bought one of them, last minute the travel tart in me got the better of me and i bought the meta 5.5.2 instead and have been very happy with it. i hear the super is very much like a tighter more precise meta, but seeing as i don't ride to precise i think that tightness and precision would be wasted on me :lol:

    you had her (i assume she is a her) out yet? how is she?

    oh and i disagree they look good in black but white is much nicer.

    she is sweet, jjojjas
    Fancy a brew?

    :lol: I have only bottomed the shock out a couple of times even though I am a big lump so I dont think the missing 2 mm makes much difference.

    No not been out on it yet. We had floods up here on Sunday so that idea was scrapped :(
    77ric - I know what you mean, was a little tempted with bigger stuff, but I'm not as young or fit as I was, and Iv'e had my DH phase so it was easier for me to keep thinking of the climbs and the weight :lol:

    Just played around the street with it when I bought it, it seems very tight compared to my old orange 5. Pleased with it so far, I'll be trying to get out on it at the end of the week.
