Re: Blimey, that's an old post.. What a coincidence that is? I changed the Mag21's also to Manitou 4's and instantly didn't like them. Too firm and short travel.. .So took them off after a week and went back to the Mags. It's only when I refitted the Mags did I realise they came factory fitted...

Well if you're really interested in the Avalanche frame I would probably sell it after the transplant. You'll be given first refusal on it. :wink: Thanks for the LE link, very helpfull. :P But ohh dear it won't be XTR spec'd. The LE is going to stand for Lower Equipment, it'll just have...

Manitou, on a Zaskar? Oohh no. :( Gotta be the Mag21's on a Zaskar.......that's the law. :wink:
