You were really going at it on Cactus. What a great trail to test for the fork. “It felt good”. It looked great. Looks like the DVO has found a new home! Love mine. Keep it up!

Cactus is great Mike . It’s short with lots of cool stuff packed in. The Fork really performed in its audition . It ticket every box 😀. The DVO is a keeper mate 😃. Thanks for watching Mike 🫶

Hey mate thank you for the comment. I can let you know that this fork is staying on. It feels incredible once I got used to it. Thank for watching and I hope you are enjoying the lovely spring trails ❤️

Nice Mick... Upping the front travel will make some changes like you noticed... The BB will also be a tad higher now, So the cornering and "slow speed" stuff will be slightly different... But would be interesting to see how you get on with that DVO in the future... deffo looks good!

I must admit I have not noticed the BB but I did feel a slight change to the overall characteristics and got caught out. Very used to it now and love it. Really like DVO. Hope all is well bud 😊

Hey Mick. I'm on the Alpine Trail E and my forks hit the stop block on down tube too. I'm thinking about looking for a different headset. One with bearing cups that would stick out of headset. Hope that few mm would make the fork clear the frame...

Hey mate that’s a great idea ( headset) . I know a guy with the alpine trail E that went 180mm forks and just took the bumpers off the frame 🤣. It works ! Yeah really happy with the extra bounce and overall stiffness and after a few rides the dials hitting the stop block is a non issue but I think it could be in a bad situation . I’ll do some searching and if you find anything please let me know and I will to you too. I wonder if we could fit smaller stop blocks??? Thanks for the comment mate 🤘

Hey mate 😃 I was going to swap out the fork when I first got it but thought I’d try it and fell in love with the whole feel . But I will say that with several rides under my belt since the new fork I believe this bike should have come out with a 160mm fork. It feels so nice! I’ll get the Pikes fixed and will sell them . The dials hitting the frame is not a big deal for me now I’ve ridden it . I guess it’s just made a very capable bike even more awesome . I love my bike! Thank you so much for the comment and I love that you are in one of the best countries in the world 🫶

Nice riding Mick 👌 Is your other fork under warranty? I've put a new fork on mine not long ago. Picked up a brand new Marzocchi Z1 Bomber for $599. Might be because of Fox / Marzocchi announcing the 2025 models. Some bargains to be had at the moment 😁 🚲

That is such a good buy. Yes under warranty just gotta send it back. I don’t think I’ll put them back on though so might sell them. Shame they didn’t quite hold up as I loved them. How you been mate? Thanks for watching Mick

@@mickfromrocky Oh cool , not a loss then. I'm good mate... I recently found out that a health issue I previously had, is gone. I had a fatty liver, which is often from alcohol, but in my case it was Coca Cola. I like the odd beer/bourbon etc.. but never been a huge drinker. I quit drinking Coke and now there's no sign of fatty liver disease. I'll admit, I was definitely addicted to Coca Cola. If I try drink it now, it's too sweet lol. I hope all goes well with your test mate. And great to hear that blood count is good !
