    as AM as I need

    now with rigid forks for extra gnarliness

    Not going to post them all again, but hopefully this one will come out better.

    GWT – the front is still useable, but just slung the rear in the shed and bought a Mavic EN521 on Hope Pro2 with DT DB spokes.

    Will see how it holds up at Fort Bill this coming weekend

    TAFKASTR – watch those rubber bumpers on the fork legs don't get turned around. We had a carbon Enduro in the shop today with a badly damaged frame where the legs had been impacting the frame – and all because the bumpers had got twisted.

    Was just about to mention that Druidh.

    Never seen actual holes punctured in a frame like that before. Not good.

    Hope he manages to get something sorted out.

    Yeah cheers – been riding it for a while now and they do spin (keep meaning to fix them), but I am pretty meticulous about making sure they're aligned. They tend to move when handling/cleaning rather than when riding.

    Would it be possible to fix them with some double-sided sticky tape?

    Possibly, but I doubt that would take well to water. Might try the old hairspray trick, but they may be a bit too loose. Failing that some nail varnish, or even superglue would work – just not got round to it yet.

    Nice Ginge

    How comes you have a grey rear shock? And don't you find those stock Enduro bars a tad narrow?

    I note your XT chainset suggesting like me you built it up yourself – are they Elixir brakes you've got on it?

    TAFKASTR – serious question, do you really need the layback post? You seat looks quite far forward that a staright post would work? Or not. Just wondered.

    The bars are the S-works carbon low rise ones not the Enduro and seem just fine. The brakes are Magura Marta SL, which are lovely!!! As for the shock, I have no idea, it's just the one it came with, may just be the photo!!
    I did build it myself, however now changed it for a Race Face Atlas in black!!!

    Nah, don't need it – it's just the Thomson that came with the frame. It only gives the same offset as a straight post with a layback head mind you. I'm getting an adjustable (dropper) post soon and have been looking at the KS i950 which is in-line, which would probably put the clamp just about smack in the middle of the rails.

    I'm an odd size – just under 6ft, but with daft long legs and shortish torso, so I need a large frame and lots of seatpost. The Enduro has a long wheelbase too, hence the forward saddle position.
