    Cant be compared to lyrics , not the same use at all..
    with the right spring makes an excellent trail fork really plush, very light for a coil fork, is a very low height fork for its travel.
    I advise it for light riders... as Manitou make only soft springs... even the firm is soft for me

    for general messing around DH stuff it will be too soft not tall enough. depends on the use. I ll give you a detailed PM :wink:

    Too much on tomorrow, but still on for Sunday and possibly a bit on Monday morning. SH or Swinley, or Tunnel Hill for a change.

    Monday blue skyes for videos and photos. Surely it's clear indication? People make up your mind, we need to organise transport.

    Those who are eager to climb hills go Sunday, ride Pitch+Redlands+Leith ... that will serve you plenty. And Monday is the bestest day for SWales weather wise!

    Wouldn't mind doing both SH and Afan this weekend and more likely to do that with SH first then Afan as probably too knackered after Afan. So Sunday SH and Monday Afan sounds a better idea. Don't know if the other guys can do Monday though.

    I can do Afan both Sunday and Monday or even doing twice is no prob for me. :wink:
    So I am flexible.

    I'm over in Woking so Sandhurst is on the way so could share a car if I get myself to your place. I've PM'd my number.

    Actually, just realised you're the guy who I meant to meet up with around SH or Swinley some time last year but we never got round to it :D.


    Sunday - don't mind what time. I believe Cooldad was thinking of doing SH Sunday also.
