Re: The MTB thread
Anybody lookin to upgrade their forks?
I have some 2012 140mm Fox Float 32 FIT RLC fork with Kashima Coating that I'm looking to sell. They are only 4 months old and in immaculate condition.  RRP is £750+ I'm looking for £450

Re: The MTB thread
The boardman stuff is usually pretty good for the money.
Not a bad frame and not bad components either. |

Re: The MTB thread
The forks on it are the rockshox dart and TBH they arent great.......however, they are better IMO than the Suntours. For this price......you wont get much better.
It would give you a cracking base to upgrade in the future, as would the spesh you put earlier.

 I can't justify having a superdooper MTB, but the Boardman is a good base to start. As I always say to anyone buying a road bike, get a good frame & build around or upgrade the components

Re: The MTB thread
Tbh the sun tours are like stock sv suspension. We all managed on it for a little while before getting the urge to upgrade as our skill improved. You'll manage fine with the sr suntour or rockshox - just don't have a go on any £2.2k downhill bikes lol
