Ok, so I've managed to pick up a nice Trek 6300 hardtail at a bargainous price, and would quite like to upgrade the forms from the Rockshox Darts that are on there.

Can't afford to go mental on them, but I'm pretty much convinced that they'll be a worthy investment. So where do I start?! I find Rockshox range utterly confusing, Fox not much better. I've read good things about Rebas, not sure what else to keep an eye on EBay for.

Any suggestions Org?

Paul & drew back to marlbrook safely... Today's rideout data: http://www.endomondo.com/workouts/pC-5rSkRAco

Thanks for a cracking day out guys, had a good giggle & lots of cramp (even started to get cramp in my face towards the end!). Pics & vids will be on when I get home tomorra

James - think someone will be along shortly to advise

Perhaps I can make Cannock sometime, so long as it doesn't have any boardwalks.

Just sat on the sofa too while Jess is hovering! My rear end feels like I've spent the day at a Catholic boarding school

Great day though but Rob you really need to work on your fitness so you can keep up next time

James - I got a set of Rebas on my bike and thought they were great today, can't see why you'd want more at my level, they were about £300 from Merlin cycles.

What were the conditions like at Cannock, was it muddy / boggy? Tempted to go tomorrow but not if it's a mess.
