nice build you've got going there

new forks will make a world of difference, believe me!
I've started doing something similar with the one in my sig

Thanks

it does ride well but the forks are in need of replacement unfortunately money is not exactly freely flowing at the mo so things are done as and when for now.

I want some air forks rahter than coil sprung but those obviously cost more but are lighter, im fairly sure most forks would be lighter than suntours on it at the mo but im not 100% sure and dont wanna buy something that will weight the same or maybe more.

Come on lotto win........

haha fair enough, well there's some MX comps on chain reaction for about £170 that are air sprung. I'm not much of a fan of coil anymore because unless you have a compression knob, you have to make do with whatever spring rate you have at the time or spend hours swapping them out. With air it's SO much easier!
