Cracking pics there mate, scenic/natural rides are the best! Shame about the forks, those stanchions are/were a lovely colour. Hopefully it dont affect them performance wise

Those are cracking photos. You were lucky, this was my view from there a few weeks back:  Bummer about your forks too. |

That is some view! How are the trails running at the moment? I'm assuming that they should be pretty much perfect, with the lack of rain. Hopefully they should still be prime for Weekly Wrekin Wednesdays. Erm.... icy! The main downhill run from the top was really bad when we first got up there, I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem for you but it wasn't confidence inspiring for me being out for the first time on this bike. |

Nice pictures.. I am the only one who would be so annoyed by those scratches that I would HAVE to get new forks?? I've already been looking haha. I'll see how they go, you can't feel anything so i'm hoping a bit of polishing will sort it out so long as I tape off the seals and clean every speck off after. I have some really really mildly abrasive stuff I use on the car (not T-Cut shite, detailing grade stuff) that I will try and at least make them less noticeable. |

It's just an aesthetics thing. |

Vid from the weekend. Can't recommend the place enough. It will push most riders going up and going down.

If you cannot feel the scratched then they may polish out or at least dull it down without damaging the stanchion. Try a glass polish first before you use anything more aggressive.
