Strengths:    Smooth, linear travel

Weaknesses:    None so far

Bottom Line:   
I really wanted a Fox 34, but I just couldn't swing the price. I read some good things about this fork, but I don't know anyone who has one. I found a deal and got it for $600 - I just couldn't justify the extra $400 for a Fox.

This fork replaces a Fox 32 120mm on my RIP9. I could never get full travel on the Fox. The extra 20mm of height is definitely noticeable, in a good way. The RIP feels a lot better on the downhills with the extra travel - I give up a little in the steep climbing department, but not enough to cause concern.

I found this fork easy to set up and after 3 months of hard use its still working great. It has loosened up a bit with use - but I just added a little more air and its fine - just the seals wearing in. Its an incredibly smooth fork that is linear through its travel. I live in NE US and ride on extremely rocky trails, so a good fork makes things a whole lot better. I have bottomed it out a few times, its not harsh. I get full travel on a hard ride and 90% travel on most of my rides. I've had a quite a few instances where I buried my front wheel in a rock, I had that "here we go, over the bars" feeling, but the fork just sucked it up and I kept on riding.

So far, it really seems like a good, cheaper alternative to the more expensive options. It seems about as stiff as the Fox 32 was - no complaints, I wonder how much stiffer a Fox 34 would feel?

I do a lot of my own work, but I usually leave fork work up to the bike shop. Given how few of these things there are around, I wonder if any bike shop will touch it.
