from Sheffield Date Reviewed: October 22, 2007 Strengths: Big & beefy stanchions, look nice and the crown is on par with some triple clamps in size. Can soak up just about any thing, managed to take them off a 12ft drop, landed harsh and they just soaked it up. Fantastic option for those on a tight budget Weaknesses: Little bit heavy but unless your an XC freak you aren't going to notice it. Rebound can be a little bit slow and sluggish for small bumps eg roots etc Drop outs chip quite easily Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: 2nd hand from internet Bike Setup: 02 X-cess frame Halo SAS wheelset 04 DJ3's Deore/Tourney gearing Husslefelt crankset FSA pig headset Maxxis Holy Rollers/Minions

from Vancouver, B.C., Canada Date Reviewed: September 15, 2005 Strengths: Not sure, couldn't get past the weaknesses. But seriously, the fork worked decently (it held my front wheel to my headtube, anyway) for 2 and a half years, and I guess that's not bad. Weaknesses: I cracked the crown twice, and I think the internals are blown (I've been told, I can't tell the difference). Also, the springs it came with were too soft. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: came stock on '03 Norco One25 Similar Products Used: I guess my '00 RM6's stock Z.1 is kinda similar. Bike Setup: Mag 30s, Hayes 9 carbons, SS, etc.
