Thanks for replying guys. Has anyone actually done this conversion and were they happy. Apart from the RST being a much better shock the weght saving is almost 0.9kg's. For R3440 for the shock less what I would get for my shock if I had to sell it, makes it Rand per gram an excellent investment.

I am sure this has been discussed at lenght before but I would like to know if the change in geometry going from 80mm travel to 100mm would be that big that it would affect the bikes handling. I am looking at replacing my Rock Shox Tora 302 85MM fork with one of the 100mm RST's that Kiwi is sellling. According to him the the new fork would change my bikes steering by 1 degree. Surely that is nothing to worry about. What do you guys think? Thanks

Thanks Spinnekop. Any other opinions?

It is the Carbon STI Rival versus the standard Ultegra not the gunmetal grey groupset.

Hi I am looking at buying a new groupset from CRC. Which is better, the 2008 Shimano Ultegra 6600 groupset or the 2009 SRAM Rival groupset. The SRAM will work out approximately R 1000 more expensive. Thanks
