Aye they are great. Sent my 7 yo Vison 4 back for repair, and had it back within the week fixed FOC. Top service, it’s just made me purchase a pair of E4 brakes from them to replace my XTs.

Fed up with my rear XT and dropping wheel out to pump pistons out to allow for pad wear! Tried bleeding but still comes back. Just ordered Hope E4s last night!

@ Tom, you’ve just saved me the expense of trying one on my 5010! Thanks. 🙂 Im wanting a cage that wont interfere with Thule roof carrier and thought the Fabric might have fixed that issue.

Running a standard SLX crankset with 1×10 on my new 5010c v2, no issues at all.

My 4 year old reverb packed up recently. I couldn’t find the receipt or any proof of where I purchased it from. On a whim I sent an email to CRC thinking I may have bought it from them, they said they had no record of me buying it from them, but they were really helpful and said to send it in to them and they would forward it on to Fishers for inspection and repair. Anyway 2 weeks later and I receive an email from Fishers stating they will replace my Reverb FOC as a goodwill gesture. Very impressed, that’s customer service.
So I would say take it to a SRAM dealer and ask nicely if they can forward it to Fishers for repair.

Fantastic bike for trail riding. I just so happen to have a 2016 Black frame in large with Cane creek inline for sale 😉
It was a replacement warranty frame. PM if interested. Will be putting it in the classifieds in the new year.

Merry Xmas to me a few days ago.

Thanks guys. I can tell you it wasn’t that clean post ride.

First ride out today on my v2. Initial impressions are good 🙂

I had the v1 alloy Solo and always felt it was too short. It rode lovely apart from that. Great all round trail bike. I’ve got a v2 due to be delivered next week all being well

I contacted Sweet Protection asking when they are expecting Mudrides in large. I was told next spring/summer!!!

My 6yo Vision 4 packed I a year ago. I emailed Hope and they said send it in to look at. Was back with me within a week fixed FOC, brilliant service 🙂

Had a Spitfire since feb this year. Ride it about 3 rides a week (5Hrs). Unfortunatly mine developed a crack on the frame. Pretty quick turnaround with the warranty replacement though. Didn’t even have to send the frame away for inspection, just sent pics. When I stripped the components from the old frame the bearings were still silky smooth. Now been riding the new 2016 one for a couple of weeks and loving it. Wouldn’t let it put me of buying Banshee again.

Love mine on my Spitfire, but has been to TFT for a 6 week period as the shock body was worn and hey had to wait on stock from the states. Got rebuilt with new 2016 internals and back now. Great feeling shock though, so plush, yet flick the climb switch and it firms up noticebly.

Yep. Did the same with my 30.9 Reverb. No probs.

Here she is in Black

My warranty replacement frame has arrived at shop :-). Will post up pics once I’ve rebuilt it.

Where did you get your Mudridess from in Germany Jambo?

Got a 10L cc Evoc, and a FR enduro 16L. Both are far more secure on the back than the Camelbak mule and HAWG nv they replaced.

I’m running 2×10, X-fusion Slide 120 fork, Stans Arch EX with Minion on front and a Smorgasbord on rear just now.

Love my Solaris, certainly don’t ride heavy. Do it! You’ll love it

Thanks Enmac, the Scolty Neep route looks good. Will take a closer look tonight.

Sounds great Chief. @Volatilemike, I’m running Pikes at 150mm. Had them 18 months and also been on a SC Solo with the 140 air spring. Great fork, no issues yet.

Hi Volatilemike,

Still waiting. The bike shop was hoping to have received it last week! Fingers crossed this week. Ive asked for the Gun Metal or Black.

Enduro, freeriding, all-mountain, xc, fat biking, DH, CX, it’s all riding bikes and having fun so who gives a s#it? As long as folk are out enjoying themselves. Beats sitting in front of the TV.

Thanks Spin. Will probably climb up from Ryvoan and descend down to Glenmore.

Cheers folks. Will investigate that. I usually hike a bike up from Ryvoan so will make a change going up from there. Is it rideable?

Here’s some pics of the clearance with HD fitted Ian.

Been running a Hans Dampf 2.25 on the back of mine no probs. On a Stans Arch Ex rim.

Cheers Benn 🙂

May have a cracked frame, but it hasn’t put me off the Spitfire. Cannot wait to get back out when frame is sorted. A fantastic all-rounder of a bike, that is way more capable than I’ll ever be.

Nice! Where’d you get the ‘stealthy’ Pike decals from Ben?

Oh dear, found this crack earlier this week. Waiting on answer from shop who passed pics to Banshee UK importer.

Is the new ‘Gun metal’ 2016 colour just the same as the Raw? Or is it a painted finish?

Unlucky Volotilemike, hope it gets sorted soonest! I’m away to the garage to check my 2015 Raw frame :-/

Yes Teethgrinder a spitfire. See what TFT say when it’s been returned. Frame alignment looks ok though.

Mines at TFT now getting looked at. Shaft worn as you can see in the photo. Only 6 months old.

Good shout Bennn, just treated myself to a pair in red. Already got a black pair and they fit well and are wearing well after loads of abuse.

Good work folks

Yep, all open and clear.
