 What exactly is the mismatch in colours you are talking about? I can see a cool, black rig. Why do you need a new fork? Fix this one.

 There is never enough black! Big Grin What bothers me most is green seat clamp Smile But that is easy. I might also repaint pedals...
Fork is working perfectly fine, but 32s were made for much easier riding compared to what I do and I can just feel them bend in every hard/fast corner/berm. Also steerer creaks under hard pressure but that is just standard fox Big Grin

 I would leave the seat clamp green. There has to be some accent. If you want to change the pedals I understand why, but you don't really see them when riding. They are under shoes. First thing that is bending in your hard corner is bar, then rim. Maybe the truing is too loose. One thing more I would recommend is a larger front rotor. It looks like it was 180mm or even smaller.

 Even when riding on road and I turn left/right the rotor starts making sounds because it touches pads due to bend. Admit it, 32 was designed as XC/AM fork, certaintly not for blasting downhill and jumping 5m jumps, which I do all the time. Quick search shows everyone has pretty much same experience.
Rotors are both 180, till season of bikeparks start again I wont need bigger but will change both to 200 when needed. I also have set of new Guides ordered, 4 pistons, pretty much same weight for a bit more than 200€ both... Why not Big Grin

 Also about the clamp, picture was taken with my crapy phone in cloudy weather, in reality it shines out way more.

 I understand your point about the fork. This bike does not look like for hucking 5m drops. I had the same thing about rotors. You need to have a rotor with aluminium centre. A two piece rotor, like shimano saint rotors or hope rotors. The outer part is made of steel and the inside is thick and aluminium. It is much stiffer this was and nothing bends in corners. It is enough to have 180mm rotor in the back for dh and it is not enough to have 203 in front for dh. Front wheel takes about 70% of the braking force. It is the same in cars and motorbikes. Front brakes are always +50% larger.

 Dude you got it all wrong, rotors stay the same, fork bends aroud them so they touch the pads. Actually in this case the problem is axle design, again because fork was not designed for such use and you simply cannot tighten it enough.
About bigger rotor in front, it only works if you are really good rider, for normal ones like me its best to have both 200 if you do a lot of dh/parks. I know because I tried (on 2 of my previous bikes including saints m810 ) and having big rear rotor help so much on longer runs, only pro of small rotor is weight save which is effectively nothing...

 I ran a dh double crown fork and my front rotor was rubbing pads untill I changed it into black aluminium centre. I run 203 front and 180 rear now. Everybody has own preferences, but it seems there are as many theories as riders in the world.
