The trusty Mount Vision was treated to a couple of upgrades over the winter - a more modern fork and shock and a nicer wheel set.
Managed to get out for a couple of short rides this week and very pleased with it so far. Fork is better damped and feels more supportive (no top out clang either, which is a welcome change), and the shock is noticably less wallowy too.
I was worried the somewhat longer fork would upset the geometry, but this seems to be unfounded. I did have to move the saddle forward on the rails a bit to keep a good weight balance on steep climbs, but if anything this has made it more comfortable the rest of the time too.
On natural cross country terrain, this bike absolutely rips!
