Strengths:
great looks, very stiff feel yet still gets those small bumps, rebound works, rebound knob can be removed, very smooth with no noise like zocchies THEY ARENT MANITOU light? compared to my dj2
Weaknesses:
well erm....they are a tad floppy but still stiff enuff and i have had them 3 days did a 360 and landed awkward now they have a click on compression. i might have moved something in the internals but a warranty check will inform me of what it is and have it fixeed its not major i could live with it but im a fuss pot every thing has to be quiet but my freewheel.... yer says solo air but i cant find the air valve.... what else... oh to be fussy seals leave ugly marks on the nice shiny stanchions but HA!
argyle 302,ns suburban white, da bomb wheelset, redneck inferno stem(1 of 200) and a line up of bmx cranks chain pedals, atomlab trail king bars hfx-9 rear brake
Bottom Line:
GREAT light fork pretty strong and versatile when i work out where the solo air is...... clean crisp look Strong brand we'll see how their warranty holds up good compression feel definently has progressive travel BUTTER SMOOTH! hard hitting and small bump sensitive good on the bad wrists maxle is soooo simple i did get over $200 off the price so who can complain
overall 4 chillis bcos they have gained a simple fault
