from Birmingham, England Date Reviewed: February 8, 2010 Strengths: Came with bike. Works fine for a budget coil spring fork. Lockout is OK. Low maintenance, just clean and lube the stanchions after a ride, and if you're keen grease the coil when you feel it needs it (once a year?). By the way the "stickers with bubbles under" are a protective film, peel them off to reveal the transfers! Weaknesses: You have to buy/change the spring if you are light &/or lady or heavy, but that's coil forks all over. You also need a special-tool plastic spanner. Lockout doesn't have a blow off if you forget to release it and hit something big. Takes a few rides to loosen up the stiction, but that seems normal. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Follow the Dog Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: Rockshox SID 100 Bike Setup: Carrera Kraken

from Australia Date Reviewed: March 25, 2009 Strengths: 100mm travel Coil-spring/hydraulic version. Very plush forks meaning that you use most of the travel available but they don't bottom out. Remote lock-out lever mounted on handlebars is very convenient and works very well. Has rebound adjustment. Thicker lower legs and stanchions. Fairly light for budget forks. The forks look good. Great Value. Weaknesses: Only for lighter riders. The forks may be to plush for heavier riders, as I only weight 65Kg and there's quite a bit of sag even on the highest rebound setting. The fork was leaking oil from the leg seals when it arrived in the mail and hasn't stopped throughout the duration of time I have been riding it, so may mean more regular maintenance and servicing by your LBS. Makes a strange clunking sound when the forks come up (I think its an airlock in the system due to the lockout). The forks can feel a little harsh at times. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $90.00 Purchased At: ebay shop (NEW) Similar Products Used: RST CAPA CL 2003 (Crap budget forks). Bike Setup: 2003 GIANT Boulder SE
