I see you're currently on the high fibre diet!!!

Very nice, always liked those carbon noleen forks, they look the biz!

just an update.... the shimano v's have been removed and replaced with '06 hs33's

Hilts - ok... the tyres... yes they are loud but couldnt pass them up - they were a good deal, colour works with the bike and performance wise... very good.

Rich - XC wise I personally dont think there is a better fork barr the USE Sub. If you are in the market... noleens are pretty rare these days but you can find them knocking about on ebay uk & usa, otherwise the look fournales are pretty similiar in performance but.... like the noleens they have a tendency to throw you over the handlebars on steep descents with sharp bends/turns... all to do with the J-travel path they have.

(j path) which can be adjusted to be not quite so severe
