Strengths: Cheap, smooth, thoroughly capable for the trails.Weaknesses: Weight, knocking from negative travel, ineffective rebound controlBottom Line: Took it to the peak district, around Hope, and it handled the rocky descents with ease. Climbing isn't an issue for me, since I'm only around 140 lbs, so the forks don't squash up too much.
One other problem is a lack of direct feel to the front wheel. There's a lot of float in where the bike actually goes versus where you steer it. This was probably not helped by a slightly worn front hub, and inappropriate hybrid commuter tyres on wet rocks (:P), and the standard QR axle (hence not listed on the weaknesses.)
For £80, I was more than impressed! I might have to invest in a 20 mm through axle next time, though...

Bike Setup: 2001 19" Carrera Kraken custom mish-mash (my "other" ride to complement a FR HT) - came with 80 mm fork; considerably slackened to good effect.

Strengths: Brilliant Marzocchi Quality for a coil fork, seals are great and the action is always consitant. Much prefer this over a bottom end air forkWeaknesses: On the heavy side-but aren't all coil forks? Rebound isn't as effective as on other higher end forksBottom Line: Great value fork for budget cross country or all mountain riders. Would much prefer this over Darts. Very simililar ride as RockShox Recons with only a marginal weight difference in comparison to the price.

Strengths: simple, absorbs bumps, accepts a 7" rotorWeaknesses: heavy, a little soft, I weigh 162Bottom Line: Actually an MZ Race fork but it's pretty much the same. I got it cheap and so far it's been good. I'm Keeping my finger crossed because the last Marzocchi I had the factory did not honor their warranty when it began to leak air.
