I went down to the LSB today and was looking at the bikes.
I saw the Kona Stinky siting there looking all badass with it's FS and fat tires. I thought the fork looked pretty darn beefy too, but I can't recall ever seeing it on Marzochi's web site. It's pretty much a Droppoff 2 with extended stanchions.
I thought, "cool this fork must be bomb proof"
wrong!
I put the front tire between my legs and turned the handle bars to find that the bloody thing has an enourmous amount of steering play. It had three times as much steering play as my MX comp and WAY more play than my freind's standard DropOff2.
First off, why would this fork have so much play? I thought those extra clamps were for amking a fork mor rigid?
Also, I'm ashamed Marz would sell such a thing!
Anyone use this fork? Notice too much play?
