Message: A softer spring (£25) has now been fitted in the forks, removing the few small handling problems I was having on tight twisty single track. New wheels fitted, Hope XC hubs with Mavic 321 rims shod with Trailrakes for the current muddy weather.

On a ride in the peaks I managed to break the rear mech and hanger (both replaced with original parts), but it's currently in the LBS having the BB removed (stuck fast) and the rear suspension bushes replaced.

Still an 8/10 bike, and holding up well to the week in, week out abuse I give it. Could be lighter though (new shock and forks should do that)...
