Completed a 40km mtb race yesterday on the bike below. No problems with the bike but body was knackered and beaten black and blue from the lack of front forks. By 30km I was struggling to avoid or lift of obstacles. Legs were okay but wrists, Aams and shoulders.
Bike weighs in at 9.5kg at this stage. I call it my French Mistress. Nice to look at but leaves me in a wreck after riding her.
As for forks. Was thinking maybe a set of AMP forks with disks? Have got my hands on a set of Pace RC36 however kinda heavy.
Thoughts?
Also thinking of changing the brakes as the old hopes require too much forearm effort which does not help with my biological suspension.
