Nice. Can't wait to try mine. Did you install it yourself? Any complications during the process? I'm a cheap f*ck and did not order the clapms. Hope an old inner tube will work the same.

I ordered there kit and followed the install instructions and it was a piece of cake, I'm no stranger to cracking open forks but with there instructions it's not rocket science, it's also a good time to clean or replace seals and add new oil to make the fork an entirely different beast

Cheers mate. Have fun on yours!

Love a good quality hardtail, the 456 looks like it would be a lot of fun 8/10.

I've made a few changes to my Nicolai G16 in order to tone it down a bit, it was a very loud and shout colour scheme.

LBS have WhatsApp d some photos probably come out in low resolution but you ll get the gist

9.8/10 for the Nic after, 8/10 before.

7/10 for the Cube, not my cup of tea but I bet it's fast on certain terrain.

I haven't posted up here for a while. I ditched the green chainring and grip collars, replaced with Absolute Black oval and black ODIs. Also swapped the X2 calipers for M4. Think that's about it. The only carbon on this bike is the handlebar and rims, which is not my usual style, but I'm really liking this bike!

Black chainring looks a lot better! I think black pedals would make it even nicer. I'd give it a 9/10

With scores like that dude I shan't complain Smile

I'm off to the Alps in a couple of months and I felt the Hope X2s were a little under power for my weight and riding style here in the UK let alone Alpine Depends. So I need to change my brakes anyway and that was my opportunity to go less blingy.

Love it whatever the case, best bile I've ever had the pleasure of riding.

Hi Guys looking for an All-Mountain/Enduro for $3000 to $3500 AuD

I want a 160mm fork with decent brakes and suspension, not to worried about the drivetrain.

Any recommendations?

P.S.

In USD it 2290.20 to 2671.90 dollars Smile Smile

I think an ally YT Capra comes in around that price and a bike that's held in high regard.
