from corvallis, or Date Reviewed: July 26, 2000 Strengths: This fork is fairly light, laterally rigid, works well with the stock set-up for most riders, maintenance is fairly straightforward, E-Z peel stickers (I like the "stealth" look), actually has stayed fairly clean even after a winter riding in W Oregon Weaknesses: A little maintenance intensive considering the competition, however, the performance is better than the competition, in general, the machined pieces on the arch to hold the brakes in position cracked under initial mounting on this and my SC70, poor design!, expensive. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: MacKenzie River Trail Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: Manitou4, White SC70, Rock Shock Indy XC, Judy XC Bike Setup: I have used this on my FS Litespeed Hiwassee and the Litespeed Ocoee, XT stuff, Chris King wheels, etc, use it exclusively on the hardtail now.

from Leeds, UK Date Reviewed: June 13, 2000 Strengths: Good dropout to crown length giving quick steering. The stanchions are also very large giving incredible rigidity. No problems there. Weaknesses: They do not work. As stiff as they may be a suspension fork must go up and down with SOME travel. These do not. After three months of fettling and riding hard they do not do anything except weigh the front of the bike down. The biggest waste of money I have ever experienced. £600 for rigid, HEAVY, forks with no pump. Not as light as claimed by a good half a pound. Don't bother. I have even switched to Rock Shocks because of the experience. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Similar Products Used: Pace Pro Class, Rock Shox SID SL. Bike Setup: Santa Cruz Superlight/XTR/Easton Carbon/Chris King/Pace.
