mavic 721 and atomlab p1mp | | Bottom Line: | when I first purchased these they were great nice and stiff and they were great for the first 2 months. During a ride in the 2nd month i heard a popping noise and oil slowly started leaking out of the rebound knob. This happend at the ed of the season. I started riding again in april this year and it was still leaking oil. The fork was getting to be more sticky and wasn't as stiff any more, It now only goes down 20mm and then it just stops and it won't move. This was probably avoidable if i just took it into a shop to get it looked at by i just never did as it stopped leaking for a while. Over all it is a good fork but just take care of it and you will be fine. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
