I don't think there's enough of me to do it justice I'm afraid (11st 6 weakling here)... Shame, I'd just about justified it to myself..!

Pz_Steve:-
Talk to Jamie @ balfa - Really got foes sort in the UK now - he'll be able to re-valve the shock for you and I think he will swap springs too.
Wore a hole in my floating brake arm @ cwm Carn on sat the 13th, phoned Jamie from the bottom while waiting for the uplift, he had an order leaving the US the following thursday so he phoned up Foes and they managed to find me a NOS arm for my ancient fly. Arrived tuesday, paid for thursday, hopefully here for the weekend.
Top bloke.
P.s. Foes are awesome, and theres nothing like curnutt suspension.

There's been a couple of fox sprunk fly's on SDH recently for £800-£850, so wanted the one with boxxers, but my knee wasn't working that week so I was in a bad mood so didnt buy it

mmm lovely, really is. I just wish that mine didn't feel so short...

btw forgotmename, how did you get yours in a custom colour? I thought balfa could only get red or black?!
Posted 2 years ago # -
I spoke to Jamie @ balfa and he ordered me a metalic gunmetal type colour, he had just put an order in for some and had 1 left on that order, i think, so i had it, had to wait 3months ish tho, which was ok as the weathers been so shite i couldnt of ridden it anyway.
The bolt through rear was really noticeable, as was getting full travel out of the air can, didnt even think about it, it seems to be set just right at 85-90lb main chamber and 75-80 other, also didnt feel heavy on the climbs, but thats probably because i was stoked, and it rocked on the downs. Looking forward to a peaks bash now.Posted 2 years ago # -
cool. which bit of peaks do you ride?
if Dark peaks (hope, edale, ladybower) then give me a shout as I'm around that way!
Posted 2 years ago # -
i ride dark peaks, trail depends on weather, wind conditions, often from hetherdene car park or castleton car park. Il email u next time, prob saturday if weathers ok.

Weight is just over 32lb.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Interesting, I really don't see why mine comes in at over 35lbs!!

Fork, Wheels (tubeless too), but mostly shock, I'd assume.
