a Downhiller
from West Hartford, CT Date Reviewed: April 15, 2000 Strengths: Easy to tune, light weight, can accept an intense 2.7 tire. Weaknesses: The stock springs were too hard for me(I weigh 140lbs). I've had a very hard time trying to find the right springs, but fortunaltely cambria bike outfitters sells them. The white bros. service is horrible in terms of trying to contact them. I had the legs replaced at mt snow by the white bros. mechanics because the weekend before at plattekill I chewed them up due to high amounts of mud and no boots. I also managed to blow a cartridge within about 8 or 9 months after having the fork-I also had it reshaped at mt snow. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: anything at plattekill Duration Product Used: 1 Year Similar Products Used: judy 100 Bike Setup: Specialized FSR- Chris King headset, mr dirt chain guide, sun rims, magura hs-33s and some other stuff.

from Fairfax,Va Date Reviewed: January 13, 2000 Strengths: Very nice dampening. Looks sweet. Parts are easy to get(they are a little pricy).Easy to work on. Very rigid(no flex). Extremely plush and reliable. Fair amount of travle. Weaknesses: The crown bolt are two small and the crowns are easily stripped. This can be fixed by using a tap and dye set aand installing a beefier screw. Seals allow a little too much dirt buy(u can get wiper seals to help fix that).
