from Prescott, AZ Date Reviewed: December 2, 2006 Strengths: For me this fork is close to ideal. Both springy and solid, enough compliance but no tuck even under hard braking. Weaknesses: Essentially none. With a Shimano skewer I've never had any issue with wheel loosening, under any circumstances. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: WRIAD Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $95.00 Purchased At: Speedgoat Similar Products Used: Rigid alloy fork on my old 26r SS. Bike Setup: I'm around 160 ready to ride, and ride not very aggressively on quite technical terrain. I run BB7's and a Shimano skewer. The fork compliments my Juice frame pretty well.
