[Todd5774]

Jealous of all you guys doing stuff to your bikes, haven't worked on mine or even seen it for 2 years now, it's been in a storage container while I've been working abroad, but this week I booked a delivery date to have everything delivered back to me! So another 2 months and il be stripping it completely! Yay!

Full strip, including the engine, all bearings replaced, full suspension overhaul.

Maybe a powder coat of the frame, will see what state it's in, hopefully it will be fine as it's in a packing crate..

Well..... Lets just say that I was extremely close to swapping them for 4's.

When a guy needs new reeds its tough to justify not swapping for the 4's unless of course $$$ is an issue. In my case, I tried to upgrade myself a bit by buying an Orbea Onix. So, I figured the 3's will be great plenty for me. if someone does the upgrade I would like to hear! The thing that would interest me most would be an extremely new say 2013 with the VForce 3's in them and ride for a while, then swap the 4's in and see the difference. I was slightly afraid to try bumping to the 4's from junk reeds. Of course it would run much better! Ha.


I guess the way that my bike runs, I really do not need more power, neither on top or on bottom. I would love to try out the 4's. With that said if they would have been easily available I would have had them on in a heartbeat.
