Submitted by Jarrett a Cross Country Rider from Eagle River, WI

Date Reviewed: November 9, 2001

Strengths:    Good for big hits, doesn't absorb the little chatter though. Easy to take apart and clean.

Weaknesses:    The fu*ker broke in half!!!!! I didn't fall or jump anything on that ride and I got back and it had sheared off at the brace. In the process of welding back together.

Bottom Line:   
Good shock except for the braking in half part. Not sure when this happened but it was probably cracked and just snapped when i grabbed the brakes. (Goodwin Performance makes the best brakes in the WORLD!) One finger, totally linear, no fade, work when wet, no noise, I LUV em'!
Four ignited piles of dog poop for the shock!
(Its good enough to break in half and still get that rating)
