A better fork. Seems you have skimped there.
I'd go for a cheaper wheelset and better fork.0 -
I was unsure about forks as i have read reviews on dirt jam pros that say they are excellent forks that are like society xeno0
-
Early ones were a bit clunky - the DJ1 and are better bets, with better dampers.
Or even the Argyle.
Society Xeno is made by RST.0 -

Can't fault society though, my 4xr's haven't missed a beat and although lardy can hold their weight against much more expensive models.What We Achieve In Life, Echoes In Eternity0 -
Maybe even find a pike and lower them down, everyone seems to go for them0

Thanks for the help guys, forks are important to me seen as though i fail most of the time!0

I would want a 36 spoke wheel on the rear (for durability and bit more rigidity when landing, tbh for me jumping is 36h front and rear with a view to a 48n when the bigger stuff starts) and a better front fork with more adjustment (for 4x). Don't forget to budget for pedals and shoes as slips cost so much time or can mess up a jump.-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:0 -
better brakes IMO. get some avid elixir 5 for £135 a pair from merlin or crc0
