Re: Front fork full service/rebuild

Cheers guys.
I have emailed Roger and looks like he will get the job. A bit more expensive at over 300 squids but want a top job doing.
Just got to remove them now and get them sent up!

Re: new tyres :)

New tyres are great. Amazing grip levels. Been out in the wet and they perform well in all conditions. Much more feel and therefore confidence to push harder in the twisty stuff. Will be using these again that's for sure.
