The fork is good. Can't comment on the carbon exotics, this one's aluminium. But it's still light weight and has coped with everything I've riden on it including the final decent of skyline. I think their forks are good value.

I've used a 26" On-one Scandal frame with 425mm axel to crown 26" exotic forks with discs for my 69er. It works fine, geometry is great and there's plenty of clearence for a 29 inch wheel and tyre up front.

Thanks Loco

I'll be popping up there for a lunch hour ride.

1998 Kona Stab with fresh powder coat and modern components new pivot bushes and bearings.

Currently in 5 inch travel mode. I have an air shock on it at present which lightens it a bit.

Where abouts is this track? I can't quite work it out from the pic in the vid.

I work in Caerleon and wouldn't mind checking it out.

You’re only option is car body filler.

Fill them and sand with a block (flat section of wood with sand paper warapped around it).

as long as the dents are non structural then that should be fine.

Good bikes
