Scruff - When you say it's better over bumps now, do you mean it recovers from repeated fast hits better? Can you feel it tracking the ground better?

I have same shock as you on my Froggy and am considering options for modding it.

AndyA that looks REALLY nice and clean 😀 I had just about talked myself out of getting a big bike to save on money (and make me not rely on suspension) but this threads making me think about changing my mind again 😆

Go for it tom. I'd went back to riding a hardtail after riding full sus bikes for years, but got the urge to go back to full sus again. Still got the hardtail, but it hasn't got a look in since I got the spicy 6 months ago.

That's kinda what I'm worried about, I can't really justify keeping 2 mtbs as I only ever ride off road at weekends. As I hope to move out frm home soon I'm trying to clear out all the crap I don't need so versatility is key 😛 My dilemma is I can't decide whether to just buy a full sus complete (can get a norco six 1 for £750) or spend the money I'd spend on a full sus on hardtail upgrades (mine's getting very tatty) and build up a really nice LT HT!

I am the ultimate procrastinator and over-thinker 😆

Nice one flamejob...just that both your house and bikes looked far too clean. Do you have OCD? 😛

Oh Mr ferrit ----- that is an awesome looking piece of overengineering right there 🙂

Just for chainless riding is it?
