Finally got the XTR v's on last week they have much better feel and power. The service on them has made them feel soo smooth too. after my test ride around the garden hopefully ill be able to get out this weekend last weekend was a busy one.

Went out for the longest ride I've been on it so far last Tues, 30 miles very pleased with that my fitness is slowly coming back. Really enjoying the bike it rides so well wish id got another Kona sooner. The XTR brakes are way better than my old ones so its win all round.

B Day ride what better thing to do than enjoy your toys. Ive fitted my old dmr v8 pedals on as the old pedals just wouldn't seat well with my currant shoes. Im considering trying spd's again, I did try them many years ago but couldn't get on with them was only 10 though so didn't have much perseverance then. I suspect tech has moved along now and theyre easyier to work with too so im currently researching some good beginner spd's.

Update on the bike. I decided i wanted something a little longer up front so I opted for these J&L titanium forks I've been eyeing up on ebay for a while. The fact they are a major copy of project 2's and titanium was the main temptation not had anything titanium apart from bolts and axles so why not. Made a nice 105g weight saving too.
As i suspected they look great on the bike. Allot of research went in before buying but not allot of info was found on this fork inperticular. The other components they do seem fairly well rated and I only ride road so they wont get much stick. Hopefully i will get a proper ride in on them in the next few days.
Fitted mmm lovely
