from New Brunswick, Canada Date Reviewed: February 5, 2007 Strengths: This fork is very plush, yet strong. It is extremely smooth and I have never bottomed it out. Ive had it for a year and I havent had too many problems with it. I use it for light jumps/street and trails. Weaknesses: When I got the fork the bolts that hold the three piece legs were missing. The bolts cost $40 canadian at the local shop and I paid the same ammount for the fork. So I tapped my own threads and put in some stainless steel bolts. Big mistake. This weakend the legs and they flex like a leaf spring. Even with the proper bolts they were apperently still weak.
