Was going to take a trip to kielder but after so many bad opinions of the place i think i will just stump for hamsterly or the lakes.
 
An old school friend who's now a Sports masseur just posted a status on the Book saying that he’s working up in Fort Bill for the World Cup with the GT Factory Team! Unbelievably jealous – I’ve asked him for any kit he gets his hands on, send it my way! :D
 
Same! Do have an Enduro event tomorrow. Although with uplifts back to the start, it seems more of a jolly than an Enduro event :p

Depends which model of fork.

OK, thank you. I haven't found a specific model yet.

This bike stuff is a damn nightmare for some one like me. Just purchasing a fork is a real head ache. Straight steerer, tapered steerer, different diameter steerers, 26, 27.5, 29" wheels, 15, 20mm axel, 9mm QR, different caliper mounts... argh! :confused::o
 
Are you buying it for a specific bike? Most new Fox Forks are 15mm IIRC, and the wheel size depends on your frame and of course wheelset.


Why the hell isn't it raining like mad in Scotland right now?!?

Yes I am buying it for an old Orange Patriot. I need a 26" fork with a straight steerer tube and my wheels are 9mm QR, finding a half decent fork with these old features is proving difficult, when they do pop up they seem to go for a lot of money and I am on a budget, that is why I am reluctant to buy a new headset and wheel set to accommodate a more modern fork.
 
Anyone got any experience of the KS Lev Integra seat post? They seem a good alternative to the RS Reverb, and give me the 150mm option at a reasonable price. Cable over Hydraulic actuation seems a reliable choice too. Looking at getting one for about £245.

Been flawless for me. Obviously you need to change the cable now and again when it gets rough but otherwise spot on!
