I blew out my Rock Shocks this weekend and went with Fox forks with a King headset. I also had new XTR shift pods put in. You need to get these and not mess with the sram stuff. It's way better shiffting now.

Hmmmmm....one thing I do notice is that when I up or down shift with the SRAM it will shift gears but as soon as I put any kind of pressure to the cranks it shifts gears again! Is this an adjustment issue or a design flaw?

It's an adjustment issue. I'm not a sram X/0 fan due to the chain stays being carbon fiber. I have had friends break those off during rides as they tent to get nailed by trail debris and such. The XTR stuff is very reliable and the new shift pods are killer. Way too expensive though, but killer none the less. You can shift up twice and down shift twice as well if you like. I never had that before the last weekend, and that was a thrill for me. I'll grab a few pics this morning to show you.
