hello people, im from mid wales, i have recently baught a 2007 GT Idrive 5 4.0, for the hills about my place, was wondering if there are any problems you know of, like eating bb's, my friend has a 2004 idrive comp, and has had 5 already, mayb the idrive system? the fox rear shock is amazing. but the front is too soft for my wehight. where can i get a stiffer spring for the rock shox tora 289's? , thanks, tom

    ^thats just stupid, look on the TF tuned website or contact your lbs. You should currently have a medium spring (red) in you toras. A new spring should cost around œ16-œ20 where as new pikes would cost about œ300 + around œ70- for a new hub and wheel rebuild, that would just be stupid seeing as the toras are fine.

    I have an I-Drive and have had no trouble with BB's. I would suggest getting a very good one though as it's always money well spent. So far Ive been running a standard XT external BB that came with my cranks and have given them a serious kicking around Wharncliffe and my local trails (I actually ride DH) and they have yet to falter.

    Pain is not temporary at all. It sneaks back up on you when its cold and damp
