I'd buy the most flash and expensive pair of mtb specific shoes you can find mate. It's all about your "carpark cool" plus if you're mediocre on a bike. They can only help.

I have one, its nice but then as all CC shocks it can be a bit fickle. Consider having your current shock push tuned.
Oh I can offer good prices on them should you want one

rick my shock is a fox ctd evolution so pretty much bottom of he range it just doesn't seem to like bigger hits ive pretty much maxxed the psi out in the shock had volume spacer fitted had nitrogen recharged as it had pretty much fuck all in it I had been regularly bottoming out the shock before I found that out. I just want something that can take a bigger hit I wanted the float x originally but then saw the inline comes on the new 2015 spectral so looked into that and as its £200ish cheaper than a float x it seemed the best option , either that or the rs monarch rc3+ debonair

sounds like you need more travel bike? or without being cheeky, lose some flab? Are you landing properly although you have lessons so you must be

barnes th rear shock has never been right since day one round where I live anything more than 140mm travel is wasted but you are right I do need to lose a bit of flab ive lost 1.5 stone already so im working on it but still on the wrong side of 16st. Ive never had lessons lol but I think im landing properly its hard to tell sometimes, 90% I would say landing backwheel just before front

Think im.gomna opt for a rock shock monarch rc3+ debonair as its £100 cheaper and that can go towards some pikes very soon

You live in an affluent area and it's getting near Xmas time. Scumbags will be after Xmas pressie stashes...
World makes me sick sometimes, if you caught one of them and educated them in the error of their ways, you'd be the one getting sent down...
