Okay then, I probably shouldn't kick a bloke when he's down but in true fashion here goes, fair play to your boy he looks good on the bike, if he really is out jumping you then that bike hasn't realy had a hard life now has it ?

I am a pussy when it comes to jumping. I may exaggerate a little - I was jumping off the wee bits at Carron Valley today, but all are tabletops / drop offs. I suspect it is more rattling down the rocky stuff round here at a fair old rate.

Unlucky. Nice bike.

Could be worth contacting Orange - they may have an old rear end lurking somewhere and/or offer something under their crash replacement deal...?

** heads off to garage to check stays on my ST4 **

Aye, spoken to Orange already and I think we will be sorted - they even thought that have the new stay in already painted white... ๐Ÿ™‚
