Thanks for all the help I've received so far on this fork. I just got it installed on my heckler and my first impression is "Wow, these handle bars are tall". I'm 6'4" and my bars now poke me in the guts when I stand beside the bike. I took all the spacers out and things seem to be better. The fork looks pretty good on there too. I'm going for a utilitarian look without too much bling (Even the CK headset is black) and this fork fits the bill. The second think that I noticed is that this fork has less tire clearance than my 2001 Z1MCR. I have a 2.35 Navi on the front, and it doesn't look like I could go much bigger than that. It's freezing cold here, and I haven't been able to go for a ride yet (although I'm trying to get up the courage to take a below freezing urban tour tonight). Despite this, my ride down the driveway and over the curbs were exciting. This fork is not even broken in and it feels PLUSH! I have about 40lbs of positive pressure in each leg too. Is it possible that this Air fork will be way plusher than my older coil fork? If so, I can't imagine how the new high end coil forks must feel. I thought my old for was pretty decent.
Also, special thanks to TNC. I've read all his posts about this fork and there is lots of information there. A good resource for sure.
