Re:New forks and pics
Finally between fixing the avid arch rivals, getting some free time and avoiding the rain I got out for a ride with the new fork on.
It now rides much more like a top line xc bke. The ECC allows complete lock out with no bob and travel reduction. Set a string of strava PB's so pleased with that. Lower weight helps too.
On the downs I could not push it too much as saddle kept slipping but when I sorted that I could just let it go, very impressed. Feels on a par with a Reba.
I prefer the white too and the kashmina look alike stanchions.
So next job is collecting a few bits (new saddle, stem, shifters) and sorting the frame - possibly vapour blasting and new decals.
