I'm planning to buy a Gary Fisher 292. Now, I'm wondering if I should wait until the Reba's are available for this bike. What are your opinions?
Will the new shocks be available right away in the 2005 models (due Sep-Oct?), or not until sometime next year?
How much lighter/stiffer will they be than the Marz's that are currently offered? Will the "action" be much different (inertia sensing?)?
I saw many reliability opinions on the other thread. But, I'd like to hear them again, if you want. I am currently 250 pounds (hope to get to around 220). Thus, I can't really argue that 1/2 pound of weight will help me much, but it'd be nice to save where I can. Just wondering if the Roc's will be as rugged as the Marzocchi's?
In other words, I'd like a direct comparison to the Marz. Thanks!
