Weaknesses: Requires patience and trials to set up well. No fender available and bottom steerer tube does not accept star nut. Travel adjuster requires many turns making it impossible to adjust while riding. Effective travel is less than 6" once you set your air spring.

from Corner Brook, NL, Canada Date Reviewed: August 29, 2007 Strengths: Awesome all around fork. Good for any style of riding, and works awesome in each category. Nearly unlimited amount of adjustability. Weaknesses: The valve at the travel adjust has a wierd issue of not allowing air into the fork using any type of fork pump after 2 months of riding. The travel adjust no longer works but just increases the rebound as the travel is decreased. I believe the air issue and travel issue may be related.
