Great bikes, check the fork lowers though - they're prone to cracking around the insert the pinch bolts screw into.

This usually happens when the pinch bolts have been overtightened (torque is something like 19 inch pounds, so not even a nip really). If the sides of the axle slot are touching then they've been overtight at some point and have stretched.

Fox's UK importer (MOJO) will send you out some shims to prevent the cracking happening.

Hope this helps!
