I see what you mean, the demo could do with a few upgrades/ things doing to make it good. I'm thinking of getting a new cassette and shifter or something so the gears are decent at least. Also after some bigger disc brakes. Some 203mm would be ideal as I have a 185 and a 160 rear at the minute. I should hopefully be able to do these things after christmas. I may keep my kona frame and get some new cranks as the ones I have arent fettling well unless I got them rethreaded. The bb isn't to great either as I think I'm going to have to saw off the other crank and drill out the other pedal because it is stuck on but I can get a new axle for it so it's sound as they're only £6-7.

Hmm, I'll have to see because I can bottom this spring now, I THINK it's a 350lbs but not sure. I may look into some fox 40's, sounds like a good deal you got on yours. I need to find a job again though as where I did work doesn't open till Easter(ish) if I find somewhere to work after christmas and all through summer and that I would get some better forks. Although I am planning to build up another frame (a hardtail) as a do everything else/ play bike, as my demo is my only one, I still have some parts from my kona, like the frame, forks, stem, seatpost, seat, bars and a pair of pedals, I'm going to try and sell the frame, keep the forks and the other bits, I still have the cranks but they're not very good and the threads are f*cked. im thinking of buying a nukeproof snap (if I have the money) as they're quite cheap at the moment on crc, I'd put the dj3's on it and just make a sweet dj/4x bike.

Think I'm already on a 350lb spring. Lol dunno if it'd make much difference. It's ok for the time being main thing I need to get sorted is gears really. Would like to get some boxxers or something next year and definatley bigger disc rotors.

i see, may be because i had the rebound as fast as it'd go and the propedal off.

not quite sure how to change the hsc or how to tell what sag im running. how can i tell?

I see, hope you find some at a reasonable price then. Demo is holding up well, was doing an uplift last weekend and was awesome handled everything, even if I did bottom it out a few times. :p why are you after demo bearings? Do you have one?

To be honest mate, I couldn't say where to get them from as I have no idea. :p just look on the Internet I guess would be best.

Going to run juicy 5's. (basically most things off my kona are going on) like brakes, bars, stem, wheels and gear shifter
