from asheville, N.C. USA Date Reviewed: September 24, 2001 Strengths: this fork's strengths,the materials, its build, its travel, and the fact that it doesn't raise the frame angle but provides quite a bit of travel, unlike a psylo. Weaknesses: weaknesses, it is a little heavy, but i don't think that i want to budget around that, and i am a little hesitant about the fact there are no crown fixing bolts and it is "cryo-fit" i was assured by my shop and also by the guarantee, so i am not too worried about it, and i guess relying on 4 bolts for security is kinda wierd anyway. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: mighty mouse, tsali N.C. Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $260.00 Purchased At: liberty bicycles Similar Products Used: i went from the beefy pepperoni Al fork that came on the 'dale straight to a custom built rock shox mag 21 that was built while rock shox was still on the ACTUAL cane creek road over in fletcher, and it gave me about an inch and a half bottomed out, so moving to almost 3 was like seeing the light for me. Bike Setup: i have a '96 cannondale m700 hardtail with full XTR, mavic supCD crossmax's, paul brakes, and a lot of carbon and Ti to sweeten the ride.

from Orono, Maine, USA Date Reviewed: September 17, 2001 Strengths: large Dia tubes = Rigid,tracks well. Does a good job with medium to large hits. adjustability (even though i havent had any reason to bother with it.). Steel steerer-tube is nice, i wouldn't trust Aluminium for critical stuff like that unless i was riding strictly CC Racing. Weaknesses: got ripped on the price when i bought it. i suppose the it is little heavy it you want to nit-pick. Doesn't respond to little hits as well as the old Judy that i was riding but it is better in every other way. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $269.00 Purchased At: Rainbow Bicycles (bike shop in Auburn) Similar Products Used: Quadra 21r, 96 Judy XC. Bike Setup: 94 Trek 6500 hardtail with cheez parts (STX,LX, alivio-boooo!), i still like the frame but the fork is the nicest thing on my bike.
