26" Giant Revel 0 HT - serves me well as I've only been riding for a year, but I reckon the upgrades would start to appear soon

I've been riding a carbon rigid fork for the last year, one of those no-name, carbon tube with aluminium dropout and crown jobbies. I ride predominantly at Rietvlei (blue and green routes) and Thaba Trails (green route) and its great. There's a little bit of brake chatter under heavy front wheel braking, but otherwise its great to have so little weight to lift in front.
WARNING!!!!! Subjective opinion below!
I feel that its made me a smoother rider. I pick my lines more carefully, but I don't seem to be riding any slower.

Have you ridden over rocky/flinty tracks?

150mm Shova (26" for those who don't know the bike)
100mm travel Kona Kahuna Hardtail custom build (I.e ... what ever I could lay my hands on), it is a 29'er that can't decide if it wants to be a SS or geared bike

Yip. Trick is to let your upper body and arms be your suspension.
There's plenty rocky ascents and descents where I ride.

A red and black one.
There is evil! It's actual, like cement... I can't believe it. I can't stand it. Evil is not a view... it's an ingredient in us. In the world. Poured over us, filtering into our bodies, minds, hearts, into the pavement itself.
