Hi all,
currently riding a 09 enduro and not using it to its full ability so thinking of swaping all the bits of it onto a hardtail frame.

forks i have are fox 150mm so would need somthing that could take them.

bike would be used for trail centres like cannock and general xc use.

what is there then to look at??

cheers

steve

I've had two over the past five years and love them. The only reason I brought the second one was to change the colour.

£400 is cheap?

456 is the obvious choice... I don't like the scaffoldpipe one but it's still a good package. BFe is good value but not really cheap. Blue Pig or a Bop if you can find one. PS buy my Mmmbop, yes.

No. Breath is built for 100mm forks!

Do you mean the Blitz? Which isn't....

I've had a few 456s (16s and 18s) and now run a BFe.

They ride very similarly IMO. BFe is a tad nicer overall, but then is more cash. Medium BFe is very close to a 16 456.

BFe has just done a week in the Alps with some coil Lyriks and was excellent. Liked it a lot.
