Congrats Fubar! I don't know how you waited this long. The waiting would have done me in.
Pricepoint is a great place to get stuff. I order from them a lot. Did you ever get that "Holiday Blowout" flyer they sent out? If not, on the back it says to "mention this card" when ordering. Just tell them you got one. It says the Xvert 1 1/8 thrdls black is $149.98. Good Luck reassembling! :D

Every time i visit my bikeshop for something little such as chain lube, i come back with the lube and parts wich i don`t need specially, but i bought it anyway!
Do you guys suffer from the same adiction? :D

Guilty :D I bought another headlight on Thursday and came out with 'Richard's 21st century Bike book' as well, considering I'd already got an 80's edition I didn't really need it but as it was on offer at £9.99.... ;)

enjoy the fork Fubar

Dude, it not working!!! I mention the card in special instructions but it doesn't show my extra savings when I re-calculate...:eek:

You might have to call the order in to get it. Doesn't mention any code for internet ordering though. It would be worth the $10 bucks to call. Let me know how it goes. DG

Good luck with the xvert Fubar I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I can't wait to try my manitou sxr out after I get it on xmas. I almost got the xvert but I do more xc type riding. I guess it doesn't perform to well in the cold though. Isn't there a way to modify the fork so that it will perform well in the cold? Something to do with the MCU being replaced?

Something like that..I'm not sure..I'm not to worried about it either, It doesn't stay cold in SC for very long. Where do you live??

Fubar, I live in Massachusetts, it's starting to get cold here...I went riding today and it was about 45 f outside and rainy, which is pretty mild for this time of year. I just hope that when I have my SXR installed for January that it will take me through the harsh winter months without a hiccup. Gotta go ice my arm...get rolling soon!!!:thumbup:
