With huge amounts of play in the bushings being considered 'normal'? SouthernDownhill consensus seems to be avoid.36's sound good...
i'd be a hardnosed, lets face it they are reasonably common if you are patient in SDH, £300 - 325 posted, with seatpost and front mech... it's an iconic but old used frame at the end of the day

SouthernDownhill consensus seems to be avoid.36's sound good... is there even any point in trying to influence your decision? nocheers Oli...probs why it's sooo cheap...I'm in a quandry about 36s: i would prefer air, i would prefer a 20mm axle... but that's no biggie the 15mm fox ones can be sorted with spacers to fit my Hope hub I believe... and a 6" post mount so i dont have to upsize my Hope 185mmm to 203mm as i believe you have to do to go post mount to IS...another way to go is too finally just accept i cant climb (on a mtb that is.. ) and get a coil 140mm fixed length. I really wish i didnt seem to have developed an allergy to rockshox.... but after 3 pairs of pikes going back this spring i'm never getting them again...reason for daydream??? I dont like having to use the compression damping to the degree you have to to stop the fork diving... yet it seems quite slow through the stroke... wnat it more lively but not linearI'll try some different settings (again) but if i cant get happy with it may as well sell it on IMO... has to be said... an adjustable non rockshox through axle coil is really what i'd like to try....
I did them both on the same weekend a while back. It was the first time I had been on a bike for about 10 years, and was a shock to the system.My first biking of New year was on the Wildcat trails at Golspie. Only did the red circuit which was good butvery treacherous in ice and frost and glad I had skill compensators on when I lost it going over a small kicker and landing on ice.
