I just changed my front fork to a Marzocchi MX Pro Lo (100mm)....and done some trail climbing..it's way way easier then my SR Suntour Epicon (which is 140mm)..

will post the pictures soon....meanwhile my Dark knight now weights 14.66kg @ 32.32 lbs..still a monster in weight..not sure what else to shed...maybe the wheelset is next in my list..

Upgraded my brakes to Shimano XT 775 set with Avid G2 CleanSweep 160mm rotors..

NEXT Probable upgrade -> Wheelset.....
