| FavoriteTrail: | DC Streets |
| Duration Product Used: | 6 months |
| Purchased At: | Pedal Pushers - Severna Park, MD |
| Strengths: | Steering is responsive, amoun of travel, adjustable travel, adjustable rebound, 20mm axle |
| Weaknesses: | 20mm axle attachement - a QR would be a nice feature due to how often I drive to ride, non-adjustable compression |
| Similar Products Tried: | none |
| Bike Setup: | Jamis Komodo - all factory w/ 2.4 Holy Rollers. |
| Bottom Line: | The Komodo is my first dirt/street/jump specific bike. The fork is great but it is too soft for someone like myself who is 200+ lbs. It soaks up hits well but gets bouncy when you start to hammer. It also dives when you're hard on the brakes. I'm not sure if it can be stiffened up; I hope it can since I don't want to swap forks. |
