Thanks to 'EarlofBarnet, I'm the owner of a 2002/03 pair of 80mm Fox Forx.
Got a saddle coming Monday too!

Good stuff on the forks. Looking forward to the progress with this.
If you want to start buying a few of your own tools, Wiggle do some cheaper branded stuff that seems pretty good. I bought a headset press for £35 and have used it a fair bit, the race installer I bought was £25 or so.
With regards to degreasing, I find the Finish Line Citrus degreaser to be the best stuff. It's not cheap, but seems to cut through the gunk than the others that I've tried.

Thanks for the input! I'll check out that product. I've found my Muc Off kit that I was given as a gift years back. Should sort me for Wednesday.
I am in a similar position myself with a 1997 firemountin I am looking to bring into the future, absolutely loving the bike you definitely need to get out and ride that thing.
Just a heads up but if you are looking for a bike stand ALDI have their cycling offers next sunday so if you can get yourself down early sunday morning and grab yourself one i certainly plan on doing so. https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/c ... ming-soon/

Thanks Fred, what a coincidence that the standard is appearing on Sunday! Is it usually expensive? Thanks again
Got any pics of your fire mountain? Kong made great bikes back then, dunno what they're like these days...? Not keen on the look of their bikes anymore
