Does the exhaust system improve performance much?

Did you have to modify the arches to allow for the front shock travel?

Ah, furry muff

I had some Rock Shox SID XC on my old bike but the disc mount was in a shite position - the disc used to rub like feck on the fork - bloody £350 those forks were at the time too...

Bloody 'ell!

Did you have a bit too much air in them?

I must admit, the worse thing I had on the old bike was a Middleburn crank - one of those trials jobbies - jesus, not too practical for day to day riding Got rid after about 3 months and got a lurvely Shimano XTR one

Yes and to think you now pay that much for a piece of fibreglass to go down the sides of your car!

I had an XT chainset and was looking at swapping the cranks for Middleburn items.

Only because they had nice colours.

True! Mine was a spangly red, pretty nice kit, just not too useable for day-to-day.

XT stuff was nice too, I had XT shifters, front mech and rear brake, the rest was XTR/

IIRC, my RapidFire shifters were XTR, with 2 finger brake levers.

I used to laugh at Gripshift.

I still do.

Yup, quite possibly, the XTR brake levers were light as hell too.

GripShit? Pah, awful stuff IMO

XTR was not worth the extra cash over the XT. however I would get a UN-72 BB as it was quite light even compared to hope. I had stx RC with middle burn 44T outerring. it was nicked hence why it is green with a blue Orange
