So this leaked,
and this was sprung for someone about half my weight,
I considered buying firmer springs from TF for the Toras, hummed and hawed about several ebay forks, listed the Toras back on ebay, hummed and hawed about a load more ebay forks, decided to just buy the springs for the Tora so ordered them and pulled the fork off ebay last night.
Woke up this morning to an email from TF to say that the stock levels quoted on their website were basically a work of fiction and that the Tora springs are now discontinued.
That really ground my gears and spending a couple hours on ebay this morning looking at forks that were either unsuitable or had a leaking this, wobbly that, broken other thing etc didn't help my mood so I decided to just give suspension the middle finger and have ordered a set of these, (but with the Anything cage mounts which I'll hopefully use to mount my Blackburn Outpost)
and this
The wheel is really just a cheap place holder to get the bike running, my plan is to build a wheel with something like a Kris Holm Freeride rim and run a Knard or a Dirt Wizard in a few months.
Also treated myself to this from the Triton sale as it was only £18 and the Renthal I'm curently running is on it's way out.
