    I’ve got the 29er ones and I can say im well impressed up to now.

    Have run Fox since my return to the mtb scene some 6/7 years ago, the RS feel much smoother.

    Looking forward to better weather so I can go a bit quicker tho!

    Lol – yes, helped lots.

    U must have permission for Mrs j40aja to spend your £’s……….

    Mind and buy 2 of those daft ‘super light’ chains for when the 1st one breaks.

    Especially during our ‘broke back mtb’ trip ;-)

    Not riding at all.

    I was out Sunday past with a mate, we did a 30 mile run in horrible conditions:

    Wind, snow, sleet & sub zero temps, but came home refreshed and happy – well after a hot shower! :-)

    Take your voucher elsewhere – (In my experience) Halfords are useless.

    My lbs Nicholsons in Dundee take them & stock superior brands such as Specialized & Cube.

    They might let u add some – within reason, doubt ud get a £3k bike, but maybe £1200 ish?

    If u r not local, give them a call, they may be willing to post.

    Swap the spacer to the non-drive side – job done.

    Had the same issue on my SC Nomad when I fitted a 10 speed 2012 Shimano XT chainset.

    Something to do with the ‘q factor’ :?

    The 2013’s require a full cartridge swap out at a cost of £75! :-(

    TF said they could ‘modify’ my cartridge, but its permenant and even more costly.

    At least I will still have to the 140 one for future frame changing…….

    No idea what the 2012’s need.

    Bare in mind that dropping travel will make the forks even stiffer :-) Maybe a good thing on 29″

    alandavidpetrie79

    Well…… Currently 140 :?

    Got a cartridge on order through Winstanleys to make them 120 – supposed to be in stock on or before 11th February.

    Just doing local cycle path runs at the moment, so itchy to get it!

    Pre-Revs was running eXotic carbons and it felt awesome! – was managing to keep up with mates on full sussers dh, so wondered if I should even bother, but hands and wrists were starting to suffer :-(

    I run 34T with 11-36 cassette on my 29er and find it spot on.

    Also using a short cage mech & Pauls chain keeper and it has been flawless.

    Don’t like tights, but may have to invest in some leg warmers…..

    I did have Gore ones, but hated the zips on them!

    alandavidpetrie79

    Possibly the case, as I just had shorts & knee warmers, so my lower legs were exposed and pink with the cold!

    We were out for 3 hours…….
