Crippled my collar bone and shreded my arm on asphalt... unrepairable because of plastic thread on lockout. Impossible to get spare parts.

from Evergreen State Date Reviewed: February 25, 2009 Strengths: It looks functional and has adjustable knobs (compression, rebound, and remote lockout). Rebound and lockout works. Weaknesses: Large amount of stiction. Compression adjustment makes little difference. The fork has large amount of stiction and it greatly reduces its ability to compress and rebound. The seal is of poor quality. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any that flows Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: Came with Kona Cinde Bike Setup: Stock Kona Cindercone

from houston, tx Date Reviewed: January 25, 2009 Strengths: Low price. Feels better than the Dart 1(pogo stick). Weaknesses: 1. Lockout broke within two days having the fork installed. Didn't even use it on the trails yet. Went on the trails anyways and it became worse. Lots of bad noises and it started sticking. Covered by warranty and was sent a new fork upgraded w/ poploc. 2. After two weeks, oil started to leak from the rebound adjuster. Never bothered to fix it and after a year it is finally starting to run low on oil. 3. Sensitive rebound adjustment. A hair this way and the fork becomes a pogo stick. A hair the other way and the fork rebounds at a snails pace. Once it's set, just let it be. 4. Preload adjuster requires the use of pliers as it cannot be turned by hand as intended. Again, once I had it set I let it be. 5. Becomes pretty stiff on cooler days 60F and below. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: terry hershey park Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $135.00 Purchased At: jensonusa.com Similar Products Used: Dart 1 Bike Setup: Iron Horse warrior hardtail, RF evolve xc cranks, Kona wah-wah pedals, Cane Creek ZS6, RF evolve xc seatpost, WTB Rocket V race saddle, Hayes mx4 brakes, WTB weirwolf tires, Shimano Hone F. Der., Acera rear der. I'm on a tight budget!
