Strengths:
Good XC fork. Does what it was made to do. No stick-tion at all. Excellent damping, unlike many forks this one actually works!
Weaknesses:
No lock out- Tight damper is pretty stiff though.

Stripped down Chinese Aluminum FS frame, Sun Rhino lites, Hayes Disc brakes in front, Shimano Deore V-Brakes in the rear. Shimano rear derailleur,nine speed XT shifters, FSA Pig headset, Camp Chorus BB
Bottom Line:
Good fork for the money. Very strong and so far reliable. Functions as it's supposed to. If you tighten up on the Damper it actually takes drops nicely. Loose it will bottom out. Again that's what a damper does.
