Also fork wise I have a Rockshox 30 gold rl preordered (not available till 11th March) this has 100mm travel but with remote lockout. The standard suntours weigh approx 2400g and the Rockshoxs weigh approx 1800g. With both these installed the bike should be noticeably quicker.

For my my commute I’ve switched out to continental top contact 2 tyres, currently I don’t feel much difference from the standard tyres �� but I haven’t been that well so could be why. Again will feedback after a while of riding.
thanks Nick, looking forward to your feedback.
