    Cheers bol.

    Looking at the 2013 RS line up and other that 1 x Sid’s i cant see any others that are 120?

    chopchop – We are in the same boat my friend! :)

    Im hovering over the ‘buy’ box for the same forks, same store.

    Just put a post up about this issue – then spotted yours!

    Im not convinced the 100mm travel would be enough for the riding i do, especially Laggan Wolftrax……..

    Cant believe there is such a gap in RS’s line up – i would have thought 120mm would have been the most popular for trail riding.

    Might just get 2013 Revelation Solo Air 140’s and get a 120mm cartridge, at least i know they will be tough enough, at a cost though :(

    Winstanleys currently doing the for £520, but the cartridge is another £90!

    More like 18 years ago, but my first ‘proper’ MTB was A Raliegh M-Trax Ti-3000 – purple with Ti main tubes.

    Loved it!

    Stupidly sold it to pay the insurance on my first car :(

    Regretted it ever since…………

    + 1 for a RH lever and mount it on the LH side upside down.

    If yer tough like me and run 1×9 or 1×10 then it fits sweet where the LH shifter would be.

    They are the best thing since sliced bread! :-)

    What Mountain Bike mag – September 2012, clearly states £2699 (frame, fork & shock) and not the first time I have read that.

    alandavidpetrie79

    The £2700 price tag – does it actually include the forks too?

    As certain mags suggest……….

    I run Ice-Tech rotors and find them really good – amazing power! :-)

    Your Avid Rotor would work fine.

    Does not require bleeding – really simple job – easier with someone helping.

    Just un-do the tubing nut at the lever end on both with the caliper dangling down and swap over – job done! :-)

    Friday last week, about 200 yards from the opening to my work some twit overtook me in a car and abruptly turned left??? – right in front of me – luckily i was slowing down to take the same left turn.

    Think he mis-judged my speed.

    The scarey thing is, i was not even signaling, so for all he knew i was going straight ahead!

    I waited on him parking up and had stern words when he came through the turnstyles – Arse!

    If u want a 29er, ask yourself do I really need suspension?

    I’m the proud owner of a Cotic Solaris and was shocked at how fast I rode my local trail centre – with rigid forks!

    Sus forks on the way soon and have no doubt it will be my new trail centre weapon ;-)
