All the bits off this one. The forks can be wound out to 150mm (currently at 130mm on a frame designed around 100mm).

I do want to upgrade my shock with one with compression adjustment but the vanilla is so plush I am finding it hard to justify.

I think next weekends Afan trip will make my mind up.

Technically the one I've got is a coilair but someone slapped a coil shock on it. If I can't get the 5th element working may get a big air can for it. I've found a manual and it looks complex....

Out of interest soma how heavy are you and what weight spring are you running? Just trying to work out if I need a heavier one.

IMHO that's a little bit over the top for Woodbury Common Ash 😉

I am about 17 stonne and run a 650lbs spring but would like a 700lbs one.

I would be intrested in your shock if you do sell it.

Right then - I'm about 10kg (ish) lighter so I may get away with the 500lb spring on there and a 'plush' set up. Had a look at the TFtuned website already.

May take me a while to build up but it's half term in two weeks so I'll probably start collecting the bits and getting ready for a build then. I should be about on the 22nd. Sometime between 9 and 12 usually for us.

OK Ash we'll keep our eyes out for you & your crew. There will be me, Cipher23 & The Whippet riding a Rocky Mountain ETSX50, a Whyte46 & a GT Avalanche.

You can't miss us - three geezers going along the 'err cheeky stuff 🙂

They may resent being called my crew - especially as I'm middle to rear of pack (just not competitive for the front) and yes we ride the cheeky stuff as well.
