    Funnily enough I had a set of Vans lying around the shop and these came in so I put both on and just did not like the feel of the VAN. would have preferred a TALAS but they were out of stock at MOJO when I asked. For now the Float is pretty good. Full weight is about 37lbs.

    I love that blue. Very nice indeed. I've Lyriks on my Socom that Are a bit short for her really. I've been looking to try and extend them to 180, but not a simple job unfortunately. Might swap them out for some 36s this year.

    Haven't had the chance to get them properly set up yet but from some short off road test rides they seem to be really stiff and very plush. From out of the box they didn't seem to be too sticky as everybody says.

    nice bike, I like it a lot, enough gears to ride up hill and plenty travel to make down lots of fun

    what tyres?

    Tyres are Continental Von Baron 2.3 Folding. Very good in mud but they are a bit disappointing in the loose, dry dirt as they don't dig in as well as smaller tread ones would. Thinking of swapping to a 1x10

    Converted from a 3x10 to a 1x10 with bash guard, waiting on a Hope Chain guide to finish it all off.
