Thanks for the positive comments lads. It is a heck of a lot different than the ac. So much stable and plush and eats the rock gardens.

On a side note plowy one of these days we will catch up for a ride.

Hey mate, great bike I just got one as well.

Could you tell me how to adjust the travel? And what bolt mount gives what travel and BB height. Thanks, It's killing me.

Pretty sure the front bolt hole gives you 9 inch travel in the rear. I have my bottom bracket in the high location as it lessens the head angle which helps it handle corners. I will check the orientation of the bb height adapter and let you know tomorrow.

Good to see the old girl back in action.
I'll keep an eye on the rims but at my weight (67kg) im not too concerned. I'll upgrade as i break things.
