    Ok just had my first spin around, rides really well.
    Only issue I say I have is the rear bolt through axle, its a pain having to use allen keys, first on the little securing bolt then on the main bolt.
    Anyone have suggestions of replacement?

    So big day today, the forks finally turned up.
    Unfortunately been mega busy working so didn't get to play until this evening.
    They transform a good bike into a great bike. So smooth, easy adjustment and simple set up.
    Super slack at 66 degree head angle

    Now to wait for the wheels

    Simple little play in the street sees me able to wheelie and bunny hop with ease! Yay I have the bike I wanted again!

    So a few more bits have turned up,
    Fender bender XL because of the Slop

    Fender Bender light for the rear. Not sure how well that will stay there as there's no bridge.

    and some blue lock rings to go with the blue rotor bolts.

    Still not re done the copter tape, but did fit the new saddle and the headset spacer.
    Wheels had a delay as they didnt have any white hubs for about 2-3 months :shock: so went with black even though there was an option for red or gold. just don't think it would of looked right.

    I then did the dreaded weigh in,



    13.25KG

    Not bad for a 160mm travel bike, let alone a 29er i think? Wheels should take it closer the 12.5KG hopefully.

    Lol he's a little sod. (Still being trained.)

    I believe yes they are anodised alloy ones as I don't think brass ones come in blue? I could be wrong?

    My mates are using the 36' Kash's and i would they are more similar to them.
    So smooth and stiff.
    Need to see how they react with a few jumps thrown at them, all i'm hitting are steps and the odd rock garden at the moment.
