just an update.... the shimano v's have been removed and replaced with '06 hs33's

Hilts - ok... the tyres... yes they are loud but couldnt pass them up - they were a good deal, colour works with the bike and performance wise... very good.

Rich - XC wise I personally dont think there is a better fork barr the USE Sub. If you are in the market... noleens are pretty rare these days but you can find them knocking about on ebay uk & usa, otherwise the look fournales are pretty similiar in performance but.... like the noleens they have a tendency to throw you over the handlebars on steep descents with sharp bends/turns... all to do with the J-travel path they have.

(j path) which can be adjusted to be not quite so severe
