    yeah they are great value, its actually lighter than my other bikes and this was meant to be a heavy beast?! if thats true then i'd hate to see a "light xc" bike as the wind might take it :o

    i've got to sort the bars out though as the brake levers are way too close to the grips (I need 3 fingers to pull them!).

    Hi, like ur bike, very nice :D

    Regarding the brake levers, I switched the brake levers to the other side of the gear shifters, after moving the gear shifters a tiny bit closer to the grips than they were, if that makes sense?!

    Means I can '2 finger' brake. Get a lot more leverage by pulling the end of the lever. And with hydraulic discs u dont want to grab a 'fist full' of brake lever, as it will send u flying lol!

    Thanks Si78 and yes thats exactly what I am hoping to do, seems logical to put them the other side of the shifters its a shame halfrauds didnt think of that though :lol:

    as you say a fist full of brake levers could land you in trouble!! :oops:

    yeah, it is logical isnt it!

    Ive tweaked the positions / angles of the brake levers and gear shifters a couple of times... got them feeling perfect (for me ) now.

    Have a tinker mate,
