    How much travel do you run? 100mm

    For what type(s) of riding? XC and longer distance

    And how much sag % wise (roughly)? 25%

    Also any suggestions?

    Cheers

    The air spring will be easier to set up than coil. Coil you will have to spend money getting the correct coil for your weight

    Manufactured weights will always be different to the weighing it yourself.

    Is it a hope pro 2? if so then you just change adapters.

    If it is a coil fork then the coil scratches the inside of the surface so the damper seals won’t seal in the left leg.

    Maybe try outside of hope as there is some decent riding to be about.

    try Justgoride.co.uk

    if the triple suits him and where he rides then I don’t see a problem.

    I bought some black flag pros in the CRC sale. I found them very good but not sure I would pay full price for them.

    Got a spare one you can have. It’ll probably be Wednesday by the time I get to post it.

    I would prefer to have a bike that works rather than having to fix a really good one all the time. Suppose I choose cycling as a sport then upgrading and fettling is a hobby.

    Tried a longer bolt and it doesn’t seem to tighten. Thanks for the help I have ordered a kit off amazon which should arrive Wednesday

    If it was the stem bolt I would, but it’s brake bolt on the front fork.

    I just phoned you earlier today, you have a busy workshop so I was trying to get it done quicker

    I did it with a standard hand drill, if you’re careful it is fairly simple.

    what neilforrow said is a great idea. Where are you based?

    Cutting fluid helps. And a bolt extractor makes the job a piece of cake

    With all the air out of the air chamber do you achieve full travel?

    The main weight difference between xt and slx is the chainrings

    I guess it’s to make the forks look good.
