@LarDasse74 - When I said "soak up some kerbs", I didn't mean just charge them down, I already hop the bike as it is. Just want a little more cushioning when I bring my 13 stone back down to sea level.

@dabac - cheers for the suggestion on 24". I know someone has actually put a 20" fork on theirs, but I am looking for more info about said fork...

@jimc101 - The tyres are Schwalbe Crazy Bob's and I am running them hard at a full 95 PSI, which makes her a fast but hard ride. I tried them at 60, and yes they did soak up a lost more vibration, but the going wasn't as good. The frame is really solid too, so it transmits everything to the handlebar and saddle. I am considering the BA's as they will probably roll better than the CB's.
