Bottom Line:
This fork is nice!
I just lofted the most air I've ever done on a trail I've been riding for 20 years. The landing reminded me of 2' of dry powder the morning after a snow dump. Combine this with the travel range, easy maintenance and we got our selves a winner!
I weigh in at 160lbs so the tracking is not a problem with the 9mm. For my wieght and style (good times on the trail) I didn't want to shell out for a new wheel.
