they are 2003-04, they are only the second lot of forks i have serviced, the others being bombers which are easy peasy. took me about 3 hours to do them, but then i did rebuild them back to front at one point.
definitely doable though, reckon i could do em in about an hour now

send me a pm with your email and will send you the pdf

The Mr Hyde is my winter weapon of choice. Bombproof, singlespeed, massive clearances......

Though it does get ridden in the summer too

Same bike as I use in summer, just wear longer trousers and gloves.

@mikee

back brake: was going to be HS33 - but think i've packed it away up to my folks!

so it'll just be an LX Vbrake
s/s off road okay? not tried it yet! will let you know! still figuring out which set up i want - me thinks a 19 or 20t at back as i have 40t up front

i like those i-drives, if i wasnt an FSR man i think i'd be an i-drive
