I rode round whinlatter trail tonight mostly in reverse. Using th climbs as descents. Was a very weird ride. Didn't really like having a high roller on the rear as sadly my crossmark has died with cords coming through the sidewall.

It's odd as you know it well in one direction. The south climb makes an odd descent. Some of the walking paths on the north side are brilliant though!

I think so. Put new seals and oil in and they are still weeping. Cant feel any wear on the stanchions but there is some discolouration in the kashima coating around the top of the seals where the sag level is set.
I do love the feel of the forks but they seem too fragile to warrent chucking £300 at for it to happen again. My manitous I had before took much more stick and still show no wear.

Here is an Instagram pic of my bike although it has changed since it was taken as it now has white wheels. I will get a photo on the weekend to share with everyone. Thanks for looking.

its only classed as a red at bedgebury due to it it being used by families plus its forestry commission owned so thye do it to put the families taking young children down them.

That's my local red, ran by the forestry commission. That trail in your video would be a mix of green and maybe, edging towards a blue really?
