That's good, I hate full suspension bikes!

Lock out rear shock FTW :cool: Climbs nice and is great going back down

What rear shock do you have? Mine doesnt seem to fully lock out still giving around 20mm of travel and if I hit it hard even more. It also looks a tad oily. Does this look ok to you? This is after my ride having switched from lockout to short and long travel all through the ride.

Anyhow, with regards to my shock I got the following responce from Steve PD



I got a Marzocchi Roco TST Air which when locked out it moves about 10mm max but that it more through the pivot points on the rear.

I had to set up the rebound and air shock resistance to my weight as it hardly moved...

Might need more air.

But it shouldn't be getting any oil. Looks like a seal has gone and needs a service

I do have a couple things for sale if anyone's interested

Marzocchi bomber forks 150mm travel, good working order but only 40 posted due to lots of scratches




Scott octane full sus frame with works shock £70 posted







Spank stem great condition, for fat handlebars £20 + p&p



Crank arms with bash ring and dmr v8 pedals £20 + p&p




Here's a pic of the frame and forks partly built so you get an idea of how it sits



Also sorry about poor pic quilty was taken on iPad

I would stick all that up on pink, add a bit to the forks and frame though. They will sell like hotcakes  :smiley:

I went riding at Peaslake last weekend (first time proper riding in years) and am instantly hooked again! should be picking up one of these next week  :cool:  :grin:



It has trick linkages that mean that even with 160mm travel it goes up hills  :shocked:
