needed a workstand, nothing fancy so i gave a Halfords £45 one a go, seems ample for what i require/need
the Suntour forks on the Felt were like pogo sticks so the search started, eBay first - prices were not far off new stuff so eventually bit the bullet and ordered some Rockshox solo air from Bike24 Germany along with a fork pump - total 300 euros

they arrived today and are now fitted

they are over a kg lighter so theres some weight i dont have to lose myself

now bearing in mind i wasnt going to spend money on this and was why i got the Whyte 801 i felt guilty that the one i use the most didnt have air forks

the budget on these also went out the window but £5-600 was a stretch, so i ended up winning a set of low use Fox 34 Factory Kashima's from france for £380

just waiting on these to arrive, hopefully this week or early next
who doesn't like a bit of bling?

total spend slightly over budget .... oops!
