Thanks for the info.  have just ordered the 2008 monkeylites, looking forward to getting them on!

I'm looking at getting some Easton EC90 Monkeylite XC riser bars for my enduro and was wondering what peoples experiences of carbon bars were? 

The main reason I want them is for the dampening effect, is it a noticable difference over metal bars?

I am more than happy that they will be strong enough to deal with my normal riding at the 7stanes.

I know there has been big debates about carbon fibre v Metal parts in the past.....but Any thoughts from people who use carbons bars would be great.

I'm not keen on boardwalk but I think the new nevis red looks great, will hopefully get up there soon to give it a bash!!

I've just come back from a few days at Laggan, I thought the trails there were fab, especially the Upper red, black and the free ride,  i loved the big berms!  IMO the upper red and black flow really well and nothing seemed out of place.....other than the rock that stopped my head bouncing down the trail!

On the drive home I was thinking about which is my fav trail now as I have re visited Dalbeatie and Innerleithen recently, I think Glentress is still my fav with Innerleithen and Wolftrax a close second and then Dalbeatie very close to them.

I'm off to Glentress on Saturday then I might try Mabie next week.

Back to the subject.....New nevis red still looks fab!! I tried to bribe the wife to let me have a day there when we were up that way but no joy.....booooo

Yes the diversion is still in place, 

Really enjoyed the whole route, I might pop to Mabie tomorrow, not sure, might go to Inners....

I went up to Dalbeattie today to do the Hardrock trail.

The weather was great and I had a great day of riding. 

Its been a few years since I was last up there and I had forgotten how good it was.

Defo better then Ae!!

My new Hope hub sounded great too!!
