 How do you like your Jekyll? I have one the same as it, only with wider bars that I put on later. It seems to ride really nice, the pull shock has great small bump!

 Pull shock is AMAZING. Love that.

I also put a wide bar on it! Much better.

Issues:
Fork brake dive is awful! And doesn't feel very supportive but it's pretty good really..


Do your' cranks undo themselves?!! Or do I have a dud set? Love it in general. but £2600 of bike where the cranks fall off!

 Actually, I caught the cranks loosening before they got too bad, but since Ive tightened it I have not had problems! I dont notice the brake dive all too much, probably because im a REALLY light rider (125lb geared), but what I do notice is the lack of bleed on the Elixir 3's. Then again, Avid is known for having a terrible factory bleed.

 Damn, I can't tighten them all the way up really really tight. And they'll be loose before the end of a ride. Sometimes sooner. I do only weigh 160lb ish maybe towards 170 geared. Trouble is... my Elixirs work!!! Haha. Weird I know. First set of Avids I've used without bleed issues. They stop hard too! Not a huge amount of modulation though. I think I'll be replacing the cranks or stem next. As thats cheaper than the forks! But shorter stem would help the fork thing I think. Oh.. REVERB. Getting one for sure!

 Heck YES to the Reverb!! My friend has one on his remedy, and its soooo nice to have VS the regular. The stem and post are the main things that I still need to change! Either a Reverb, or KS post. Reverb is good, but almost as expensice as the fox DOSS which is WAY overpriced!

 Funilly enough my mate has one on his remedy too. The cranks work fine when they are tight. Which unfortunately for me isn't often. The DOSS certainly isn't worth the money. Though I do like the look of then new Xfusion one!

 I havent looked into it much, but it is a good option, aswell as the new thompson! I think i spelled that right, may be tompson

 Err not sure either. lol. That should be good too just because its Tompson. And they make good seatposts. But pretty sure I didn't like where they mounted the cable!
