Duration Product Used:

Purchased At:
Came OEM
Strengths:
Reasonably lightweight, very stiff, they don't flex, cro mo steerer, seals leak but last longer, good dampening, can upgrade dampening to TPC+ sherman internals.
Weaknesses:
like I said above, the seals do leak.
Similar Products Used:
Argyle, Goldlabel, DJ series
Bike Setup:
2004 Specialized P.2, loco front rim, holy rollers, juicy 7 brake
Bottom Line:
These are great forks. anyone who says otherwise is dumb. mine even with the fluid flow dampening never bottomed out. I go very big on this fork. have bent the steerer in the past, but that beats having an aluminum steerer just suddenly snap like my friends pike. the dampening is the same as the goldlabel, its better dampening than the marzocchi DJ forks. I actually took mine down whistler. I got bored and rode my hardtail for a day up there. I didn't hold back on the fork, everything from crank it up to clown shoes to A-Line. If you're a smooth rider, and dont case stuff and abuse your bike, this fork will last you a long time. I regularly maintain my forks. this one is simple, cheap and works very well. I highly recommend.

Don't buy it unless you are a very easy going or light rider
