So ive had my bike serviced, its a year old.

all bearings were absolutely filthy and hardly moving, but after a good clean some were replaced and some just cleaned and sorted out. One bearing casing was cracked in the main pivot.
I needed a new outer cable for rear mech, new inner cables, and fitted new bushings on shock. bearings cleaned in both hubs cranks cleaned greased re-fitted, brake pads sanded, rotors cleaned, whole biked cleaned amazingly well. So i dont think it was to bad after a year really,

So i took it out last night with some Nite Rider Minewt dual's and my god it was super smooth, it made an incredible difference. But my LBS did have to do a lot of labour on the bike and im so glad i got it sorted it really is nice and smooth and rolls better and rear pro II sounds sweet.  My LBS did an awesome job as always.

Ive got to say after a year i love my Meta 5.5 VIP still, i would not change it, i would have another bike like a hard tail, but would not lose my Meta, this is basically the  main reason im writing this, to say after a year of use, its first real strip down i still love it.

ive posted some pics on flickr as of today with the nite rider lights whicg i highly recommend.

second that
Nice post, good to hear someone just enjoying riding their bike (and accepting of a years wear and tear)
out of interest what did the service cost, all in with parts etc?
what you reckon to the minewts?

[nyox]

I got mate rates on the service so couldnt really say! how much would it cost normally?

The Minewt's are great, they fitted well on to the back of my stem as my stem is to short to fit the battery under and the minewts being easy to move around and twist in individual directions was really good, i had one pointed low and one pointed high stacked if you like. There was plenty of spread from the lights and plenty of power and distance. I was surprised at how small they were they look and feel really well built and have blue lights aroud the light units and on the battery pack which turn red when you have 30 min of light left. Im waiting for my new bars as i currently have sunline v1 carbon which have been recalled.

You really can't beat they way a Meta 5.5 rides. There's not many that come close.

i position mine similar - one low one higher, but I found if you put them wider apart on the bar and point them very slightly in you get a betr spread of light rarther than a concentated spot from having them close together in the centre of the bars like in your photo
