I have also ordered the rear Maxle for my Meta hopefully it will stiffen it up even further with the qr15 fork lowers - I just need that 27.2mm height adjustable seatpost to come out now and it will be perfect! Mind you those upgrades have cost me close on £250 quid so not the cheapest way to do things
Funnily enough, I emailed Mojo a couple of days ago and they sell the lowers for £144 and a hope qr15 convertor is only 15 quid, so I ordered the lot! Hopefully the difference will be noticable.
I got no real urge to change the meta frame as I only just got it and to be honest i think its really good - got the VIP frame with rp23, integrated headset and thomson post in merlins sale brand new for £623.
I have 140mm fox vans at the minute on my meta and they feel like they could do with more travel - plus they tuck under a bit on bigish landings, but that could be the QR flex.
I would happily swap the frame for a Heckler or Orange 5 though!
I did exactly what you did about 11 years ago and had the op Jen described - it was the best part of a year before i got biking again but about 6 months later i went down hard on the shoulder again and my collar bone broke (rather than damaging my shoulder again) so the op was probably a success.
Not convinced by private health care i had acl restructure 5 years ago privately and its never been right - physio was really good looking though i even agreed to acupuncture off her even though it think thats all mumbo jumbo!!
