get a new e thirteen chain guide, they are sick! get it in white. also treat yourself to new forks, i got a set of 2010 marzocchi RC3's for £400 cos i imported them from the US, that would set the bike up soo nice! (my neighbour has a patriot with totems, feels really plush)

hmm sounds good and they are lovley bikes to ride handle so well but i aint got £400 and the max travel i can run is 150mm

here is a pic of mine, they are 180mm, my bike was not really designed to have them i dont think, but they seemed fine. here is a photo of them compared to my old forks www.pinkbike.com/photo/6307626
my neighbour's totems are 180mm and he has the exact same frame, they complament the bike. but if you wanna stick with 150-160mm there are some nice fox van 32's or 36's you could look at, fox is a bit more pricey tho.

not sure of it being better as i cant fit a piggy back shock in my frame as your mates top tube is higher up then mine, and thanks just need some better parts

chhers man i do need some help with parts though need all new drivetrain but can't afford it and not sure i thought of it putting it on backwards or up side down but as the swingarm pivots it will hit it i woulda thought

i dont think it would, do you have any pics of it from the side so that i can have a look and see?
as for a drive train, i will have a look and see what would best suit your bike and riding. what riding do you do? dh and fr, do you use it for general trails too?

just had a look at one of the pics of it, kinda blurry but you could deffo fit a piggy back shock on backwards and upside down. i would encourage to get an e-13 srs in white, they are simply unbeatable, i know they are a lot but they really are the dogs bollocks if you can get a second hand one it is well worth it. if you are wanting new mech and stuff i would suggest a sram-x7 with an x-7 shifter, goodridge cable is well worth it too, it depends on how much you are wanting to spend.

Mech (short cage would be fine for your bike, or medium cage)

ok well at the moment im running sram x-5 mech on a sram x-gen shifter but havent got full shifting movement i lose at least one gear

well i would say if you want to improve gearing i would get a better shifter like an x7 shifter and replacing the cables with new ones, that will improve the gearing so much! if you look at a setting up your rear mech using the one from the tech tuesdays guide. that will help so much
