He was found in the plantations at about 1am, his wife says he is ok and recovering at the medi clinic. Glad he is ok, he is a really nice guy!

My new baby, Just in time for Hill2Hill

That is just Ridiculous!!!

Depends on the bike you putting it on, but a few things you need to check are... For the Forks 1) steerer type (straight or tapered) 2)Thru axle or Quick release 3) travel (how much you want vs how much is recommended for your frame) 4) If you buying second hand double check what length the steerer has been cut to to make sure it will work for you. For the rear shock 1) eye to eye length 2) stroke/travel length Some of the more clued up guys here may have some more in put but thats all I can think of for now. as for the lockout each shock/fork is specific to their own, best to google the one you are looking at.

And on a final note (doubtful)... If you are in front of me on the single track and wont get out my way.... be prepared on the next corner for a brake check! STRAVA FOR LIFE!

There is a common problem I find with any form of text communication be it email/chat forums/IM's etc. you cannot pick up on the tone the poster is typing in whether it be in jest, sarcasm, utter seriousness or out right obnoxious, causing these threads to escalate rather quickly. which in turn actually makes them quite fun...

Eish sorry man that sucks! Hope he heals up sharp

I must say, I am enjoying this playful witty banter on a TUESDAY afternoon, sure as hell beats working!

Its all starting to make sense... this is why you don't like the guys who are fast on the technical stuff

Sheesh and its not even Friday

Then why am I trying to pass them if they are better?

Like I said, you are racing against your own time, If it is a long section of single track and you are gonna hold someone up throughout, its not really fair when it would just take half a second off your time to let the faster rider passed thereby letting him have a good run at it and you not being pressured continually...

I've been racing motocross and Enduros (Motorbike) for years only been on a bicycle for about 2 years now. I do, do bicycle enduros but enjoy the longer rides to, all I was saying was if everyone respected their fellow rider things would run allot smoother. Unless you are one of the top guys you aren't technically racing against anyone else but your own time, whats half a second slowing down and pulling over slightly to let a faster rider through gonna do to your overall time on a 40/60km race?

Agreed, But in saying that, I know where my weak point is which is why I make sure it is easy for faster riders to pass me.
