Submitted by Mark Slate a Weekend Warrior from Mill Valley, CA
Date Reviewed: February 8, 2002
Duration Product Used:Tested or demo'ed only
Strengths:The bike path.
Weaknesses:Real mountain bike riding.
Similar Products Used:Everything available for 700c/29"
Bike Setup:Short chainstay 29" tires (hardtail)
Bottom Line:I didn't ride this fork offroad, but a couple of friends did. I'm including their response to the 5 chili review you have that is currently the only review listed.

Fred said; Is this guy for real? Did he ride the fork? The fork I rode had no damping and was downright scary for hard offroad riding when you got to the end of the travel at speed. We ordered heavier spring/MCU kits, but never
received them. My guess is that they haven't developed them yet.
