quotes 200mm/8" at the front and around 165mm/6.5" up to 210mm/8.25" at the rear (as far as I remember). I know that some people upgrade to a higher spec shock and can change the rear travel (due to different eye-to-eye lengths). The brakes work great - easily locking up when needed. I will probably give them fresh fluid before the sale just to be sure. The rear is a Hope Mono M4 with a S.S. braided hose whilst the front is a Hope C2 with a 203mm wavey rotor. Brakes are something that can easily be sold and bought if different brakes are something you'd like.

quotes Yeah this was before it was re-built but I don't think they changed this jump much. Unless you meant my rear wheel - I squashed my tyre a lot for sure! Will be getting this bike running properly again for the summer.

quotes I've upgraded it since I took this so I'll get some pics up some time today. In it's current state I'm after as close to £500 as possible as otherwise I'll probably just keep it. It's too fun to ride!

quotes Rather delayed reply here...but no, I never broke my legs. Landed fine as I'd done it before. I've neglected pinkbike and my riding :( I'll have to make up for it trying the bigger gap and posting a pic up here...
